RE: SIKA HEALTH, SAFETY AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY (COVID-19)
April 24, 2020
Dear Valued Customer: The health and safety of our employees, customers, and of their families are of the upmost importance to Sika. Since the development of COVID-19 in the United States, Sika Corporation has taken several measures for the continued good well-being and that our business remains operational to supply and service our customers in these unprecedented times.
All employees not working in a production or supply related function continue to work from home. Our production and shipping operations are working safely and diligently to keep our customers and critical infrastructure projects supplied with our products nationwide. This has been accomplished through the dedication and resilience of our people.
All Sika facilities, at a minimum, continue to follow the health and safety guidelines of the CDC as well as all state and local government officials. Practicing social distancing, wearing appropriate PPE, enhanced cleaning and sanitizing, on-site temperature monitoring and clear health guidelines for employees are part of Sika’s safety program.
Sika continues to manufacture products that support essential service industries that are part of our Nation’s and State’s critical infrastructure. For example, Sika products are essential to continued critical infrastructure viability in the construction, maintenance and repair of facilities in medical and healthcare, telecommunications, food and agriculture, transportation, logistics, energy, water/wastewater and public works industries. In addition to our dedicated employees manufacturing and supplying these products, Sika’s sales and service team remain fully engaged in supporting you as our valued customer. We also continue to provide webinars, virtual continuing education seminars and specification support in areas where face-to-face interaction is not yet possible.
Please rest assured that Sika is an established company and has been in business for 110 years. While COVID-19 has presented unique challenges, we remain committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees and continuing to earn your trust.
We wish you and your families continued good health
Sincerely,
Richard Montani
President and Chief Executive Officer
