Sumitomo Machinery Corp. of America remains open and committed to its employees, customers, and communities. The company is closely monitoring the situation and following guidance from public health officials and government agencies — including the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Sumitomo leadership expresses gratitude for all local, state, and federal officials as well as those in health care who are all working diligently to contain the virus. As a result of recent government guidelines, Sumitomo is taking immediate action to help mitigate the risk of spreading this virus.

Since the last update seven days ago, there has been volatility in the stock markets, skyrocketing unemployment rates, and widespread fear associated with the spread of the virus. Sumitomo understands the gravity of the pandemic and continues to take every precaution possible to ensure the safety and well-being of the employees and the communities while keeping the many customers operational.

The component and system supplier continues to follow procedures put in place on March 18th, and in the last week have implemented additional measures to safeguard the employees further. To follow the best practices laid out by the CDC and WHO, Sumitomo performed a deep clean of each common area in the shop. To date, Sumitomo has had no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in any of the facilities across North and South America … and is grateful for the commitment the employees have to serve the customers and to keep the countries running.

Through this time of tremendous uncertainty, Sumitomo remains positive and steadfast. As indicated in the past, the manufacturer has a reliable supply chain, a robust stocking strategy, and a talented production and procurement team. Sumitomo continues to build and ship products with little to no delay and will use all resources at its disposal for customer needs.
