The health and well-being of our employees, their families, our customers and suppliers is of paramount importance to us.

We are continuously assessing the situation regarding the coronavirus, monitoring all relevant information sources and complying with all government advisories in our region. We have invoked our contingency plan that is intended to keep people as safe as possible, while aspiring to the least amount of disruption to our business. As such, we have encouraged as many of our employees as feasibly possible to work from home and setup the necessary infrastructure to enable them to do so. Currently, employees not working from home can travel to and from the company premises, so that production, service and shipping activities are still running.

Furthermore, we are in close contact with our critical suppliers to confirm that previously confirmed delivery dates are still on track. At present we have no information from suppliers to the contrary, so that our inventory of key products is sufficient to meet current demand.

We shall continue to act with caution to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We would like to thank all those involved for their cooperation in coping with this crisis situation.
