Carten continues to closely monitor the impact of COVID-19 across the globe, we acknowledge that our customers are relying on our products and services to keep essential industries going. We want to share the following updates of our ongoing actions to ensure continuity in supply of Carten products to our essential customers and markets during the COVID-19 crisis.

On Friday the 27th of March, the Irish Government announced tighter restrictions on people movements and ordered all non-essential businesses to close until the 12th of April. Carten is considered an essential manufacturer and service provider to the Semiconductor, Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industries – industries which are essential to sustain during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Actions:

All Sales, Engineering, Supply Chain, Procurement and Finance staff are working from home until instructed otherwise by the Government and Health Authorities. All members of our staff are contactable by their phones and e-mails as normal. Carten are also utilising the MS Teams platform for online communications, meetings and file sharing.

Carten’s manufacturing operation is continuing to produce products for its customers. Carten is making shipments daily to its customers and receiving supplies from its vendors – all under safe work practices for both our employees and logistics providers. Carten continue with the guidelines from the HSE for safe working conditions. Additionally Carten are increasing clean down and wipe down routines throughout the facilities. Carten are working to and above the WHO guidelines for PPE, hand washing and sanitation protocols, physical distancing, etc. These cleaning and safety practices are implemented right across the Carten facilities.

The health and safety of our teams, their families and the communities in which we operate is Carten’s top priority. We will be monitoring the situation regularly and updating our customers and stakeholders with any new information based on instructions and guidelines from Government and the Health authorities.

Carten remains committed to maintaining product supply to our customers during the COVID-19 crisis to keep essential industries to going.
