At CP Kelco, we recognize the role we play in providing essential products and services to our customers across a range of industries– from food, beverage and personal care to pharmaceuticals, household care and industrial products. As we navigate the unprecedented and ever-evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak globally, we are focused on protecting the safety and health of our employees while ensuring continuity in our business operations.

Our manufacturing facilities are fully operating at normal production rates, including our San Diego plant; the California stay-at-home Order issued on March 19, 2020, exempts individuals and businesses operating in “critical infrastructure sectors” as identified by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the U.S. federal government. Because CP Kelco services the food and healthcare markets, the company is therefore exempt from the Order.

Our teams continue to focus on meeting the needs of our customers and distributors, and our global supply chain team remains vigilant in closely monitoring and managing the continuity of material flow and logistics.

The safety, health and wellbeing of our employees is our top priority. For their protection, we have instituted many precautionary measures, including travel restrictions, increased cleanings of work areas, increased space between employees in the workplace, remote work where possible, and staggered work schedules.

Please be assured that we are here and ready to help during these challenging times. We thank you for your support, and offer our sincere wishes of safety and wellness to you and your families and colleagues.

Respectfully,

Didier Viala
President
