Empire COVID-19 Statement
Monday, March 23, 2020
To Our Valued Customers,
Empire provides essential services in the nature of assembly and distribution of cable and wire products for critical infrastructure sectors including communications, energy and transportation. The Department of Homeland Security “Memorandum on Identification of Essential Critical Infrastructure Workers During Covid-19 Response” dated March 19, 2020 specifically lists employees serving these sectors as essential critical infrastructure workers.
Empire’s operations are essential to our nation’s critical infrastructure, and as such all of our facilities are staying open at this time. We continue to take measures to safeguard our workforce by using enhanced cleaning procedures within our facilities for those reporting to essential on-site duty, and the segment of our workforce that is able to work from home has shifted to remote work.
We have a commitment to our customers and suppliers to keep the supply chain operating as efficiently as possible during these unprecedented times. Empire continues to work with our internal and external partners to serve our customers.
Regards,
Mark Myrick
Vice President – Genuine Cable Group – Empire Division
