Multiple local and state government authorities have released shelter in place or stay at home orders over the past few days including the greater Kansas City metro area. Most of these orders define essential or non-essential businesses as on the basis of their impact on the critical infrastructure here in the United States. These critical sectors include chemical, medical, laboratory, emergency services, food, beverage, electronics, financial services, transportation and aerospace industries and their suppliers as defined by the Federal Government. Nazdar has multiple customers in these critical sectors that continue to demand our products so our facilities will remain open at the current time.

Nazdar is very committed to the health and safety of our employees so we will continue to confirm and follow public health and government agency orders and guidelines during this crisis. Nazdar leadership and the taskforce created to deal with the everchanging business environment will continue to monitor developments and communicate our plans. As previously stated, Nazdar's primary goal is to support the needs of our multiple partners with a strict focus on the well-being of our employees. Thank you for your support as we all work through these unprecedented and difficult situations together.
