In light of concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19 and the effect it is having our global economy, Jewell Instruments and our affiliated companies, Triplett and DGH Corp., want to reassure our business partners that we have taken risk mitigating actions to minimize both health risks, and business continuity risks.

Jewell Instruments will continue to monitor the CDC regarding COVID-19 to ensure best practices are in place and effective. Our emphasis is to maintain a healthy and informed workforce that can continue to provide products and services to our valued customers.

Customers
Jewell Instruments has experienced some supply-chain disruption, but thus far, we have not been seriously impacted.
We cannot predict how a long-term impact will affect the supply chain and our ability to obtain materials but we have had relatively little impact to date. We continue to work closely with all of our suppliers to assure any disruptions are minimized.
We are sharing communications from local health officials and federal organizations (CDC and the like) with all employees as they become available. We are supporting work-from-home opportunities where applicable and encouraging those who may feel ill to stay at home.
We are committed to supporting our customers and keeping them informed as conditions evolve. Our goal is to continue to meet all of our customers’ needs and ensure we remain effective through this crisis.
Sincerely,
Carlo I Carluccio
President/ CEO
