Impact of
COVID-19
Since January of 2020, the coronavirus
(COVID-19)
outbreak, characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has caused significant disruptions in international and U.S. economies and markets. In 2020, demand for our shelf-stable powdered coffee creamers, hydration and beverage enhancing supplements, and coffee, tea and hot chocolate products has risen as consumers prepare more meals in their homes. As we work in a critical infrastructure industry as part of the nation’s food supply, we have implemented health and safety policies for all of our staff, including a transition to telework wherever possible; enacted strict sanitation protocols throughout our operations; and restricted access to visitors. Our top priority is the health and safety of our employees, and we are following published guidelines by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other governmental health organizations in implementing procedures to protect our employees. The pandemic is an ever evolving and challenging situation and its impact on our business in the future is uncertain.
