In response to the governments request for help in manufacturing PPE we are now able to sell our own Face Shields and Visors. Click here for more information and to buy.
The Coronavirus is now shaping events globally, and all businesses including manufacturing and engineering are no exception.
In this context worst-case scenarios are worth preparing for: Italy, for example is now effectively quarantined until early April.
As a result we have been notified today that no deliveries are possible to this area. Other governments and countries may follow suit shortly.
With that in mind Stephens Gaskets urges our customers to look to their future resources and stocks of manufacturing, supply and efficiency going forward.
On a business level we continue to promote all the usual freedoms of movement and association until otherwise advised.
Stephens Gaskets primary aim is to keep your production uninterrupted, your downtime low, waste to a minimum and productivity high.
Assuring you of our best services at all times.
