Hendrick COVID-19 Update
All Hendrick manufacturing locations are continuing to operate. We are pleased to be able to continue to support critical industries defined by the Department of Homeland Security (https://www.cisa.gov/critical-manufacturing-sector ). Our products are essential for these industries to continue to support our country during these challenging times. Specifically related to COVID-19, the Department has defined critical manufacturing workers as “Workers necessary for the manufacturing of materials and products needed for medical supply chains, transportation, energy, communications, food and agriculture, chemical manufacturing, nuclear facilities, the operation of dams, water and wastewater treatment, emergency services, and the defense industrial base”. Our products are essential for many of these industries and we will continue to support our country during these challenging times.

We will continue to provide regular communication with our employees, customers and suppliers as necessary.
