GLOBAL IFS ANNOUNCEMENT TO OUR CUSTOMERS                                                                                                      May 13, 2020

 

I am pleased to let you, our customers, know that, for now at least, across Global IFS we are back to work full time:  the Kentwood, Michigan factory is running all shifts, and all of our office workers continue to work from home unless they are supporting production.

​

The Governor of Michigan has extended the Stay Home Executive Order until May 28, 2020.  However, non-critical manufacturing has been allowed to resume as of May 11.  The Kentwood manufacturing facility returned to full production on Monday, May 4 supporting only essential business projects.  With the latest update, we are also allowed to produce for non-essential projects.  We will continue to monitor daily which projects are open and when they need our products, so we can schedule our production accordingly.  Please make sure your regional manager and our customer service team are always up to date on your product needs and job schedules, so we have time to plan and run production to support you.

​

Our biggest victory as an organization is that we have had no confirmed COVID-19 cases.  Very strict protocols are being implemented to assure that we are providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees.  We continue to work closely with you, our dealers, to make sure we all stay as healthy and safe as possible.  Thanks to every one of you for doing your part to slow the spread of COVID-19, and for being flexible during this global pandemic.

​

Sincerely;

​

Charley Brown
CEO Global IFS
