BITZER UK and sister company Green Point UK are operating as close as possible to normal during the current Coronavirus epidemic, and giving priority to customers in critical industries.
In particular, this includes maintaining supplies of new and remanufactured compressors and spare parts to food manufacturer sand processors, retail businesses, hospitals, medical research facilities, communications and data centres, and other key temperature dependent applications.
Office staff from both companies are currently working normally from home, with warehouse and Green Point remanufacturing activities operating a split team system, ensuring full compliance with the government’ssocial distancing requirements.
Kevin Glass, managing director of both companies, said: “As circumstances continue to evolve, we are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the measures we are taking are aligned with the latest advice from the government and the health and safety at work authorities.”
He added: “It is obviously a challenging time for everyone, and our priority is to ensure the health and safety of our employees and customers at all times.In terms of supplies, I am pleased to say we have good stocks of compressors and spare parts, partly as a result of pre-Brexit planning.
“For obvious reasons we are giving priority to customers in key industries, as we are acutely aware of the importance of refrigeration in maintaining the food chain and, not least, the hospital and healthcare sector at this time of national emergency.”
He added: “Both companies’ sales and customer service functions will continue to assist during this difficult time, to ensure continued support for customers while keeping employees safe. We remain committed to continuing to provide the high quality service customers have come to expect from us.”
