FAQs
IS PELI MAINTAINING ITS OPERATIONS DURING THE PANDEMIC?
Peli manufactures products vital to first responders, emergency management personnel, law enforcement personnel, the National Guard, the United States Military, FEMA, healthcare operations, and pharmaceutical and biotech companies. As such, our operations remain fully functional with production and factory support positions reporting to work. We are abiding by the CDC’s guidelines on COVID-19 and social distancing and taking every precaution for a safer workplace.
Arrangements have been made for many of our administrative employees to work from home with all the necessary equipment and tools to remain productive and effective in their work. This action reduces the risk for everyone, including those whose positions do not allow them to work remotely.
ARE THERE ANY LINKS IN YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR SUPPLY DURING THE PANDEMIC?
Our manufacturing operation remains strong, with minimal disruption to our supply chain. We are continuously evaluating inventory and capacity against customer demand to assess any risk of supply to our product lines. We are also in regular close communication with key suppliers to ensure appropriate levels of materials and parts continue to be available.
