March 23, 2020
To Our Valued Suppliers & Customers:
As a result of the COVID-19 situation, the Governor of Illinois issued a “Shelter in Place” order on March 20, 2020 requiring all non-essential businesses to close down as of this past Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and to remain closed thru April 7, 2020.
M&E Global Group Inc., Inc. will remain open at all of our Illinois facilities as an “Essential Business” and as a “Critical Manufacturing” Sector as outlined by Illinois and the Department of Homeland Security CISA and as such we will continue to look to our Suppliers for timely support and are committed to meeting the ongoing needs of our customers.
We are keeping our locations staffed with minimal office employees (some are working remotely), warehouse and drivers to keep our operations running as smooth as possible. This is a difficult time for all of us, but we will do our best to get you the products you need during this “Shelter in Place” time frame here in Illinois.
For the protection of our employees, our customers and the communities we serve we are limiting visitors to our facilities to those persons that are absolutely necessary during this time. Shipping & Receiving loading docks will remain open at all our facilities but upon arrival there will be restrictions on driver’s ability to move about our facility. We hope you understand why and will please cooperate with us.
Our hours of operations at all our locations remain the same, Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. During this COVID-19 situation, all our locations are following the CDC protocols requiring appropriate social distancing, personal hygiene and sanitization of our work surfaces and equipment.
M&E will continue to monitor and follow all the legal requirements and directives of the government agencies and public health departments as we remain open to service your needs. If anything changes in that regard in the future, we will notify your business.
We thank you for your support and understanding and we look forward to the time where we are back to a more normal environment, but until then, we continue to be in need of your assistance and are here to help you continue to get the products you need to keep your business going.
Sincerely,
M&E Global Group Inc.
