We have had many of our customer’s purchasing groups contact us to understand our risk for any supply issues that may be happening in the marketplace.

In terms of materials used to make our parts:

Our purchasing has been proactive in gathering information and our vendors have been very good at letting us know where we stand. Because Becker’s purchases 90% of our material from converters, we are in very good shape. Most of our vendors have contacted us to let us know that their inventories are fully stocked and do not foresee any shortages. Most keep six months or more of their material in stock and their suppliers are all up and running.

In terms of components or other items that may be used in our assemblies:

We have already discussed a few delays with several customers and they are good with our time-line. China is quickly getting back to full scale production and those supply lines will be back up quickly if they are not already.

Becker’s Work Schedule:

Becker’s Fabrication is planning to remain open with our normal work schedule. We have implemented some changes internally to try to limit the number of people in the office and can further reduce both the number of people in the building at one time and still maintain our deliveries.

At this point, I do not foresee any delays to our production. If changes occur, we will notify affected customers immediately.
