Amerex Customer Update Regarding COVID-19 05/05/2020 Amerex Fire
Dear Valued Amerex Partner,
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a challenging time for businesses, and Amerex is no exception. We are aware also of the challenges many of your businesses are facing, yet we have found inspiration in the many stories we’re hearing from our sales team or seeing on social media of fire equipment distributors and technicians helping customers in need, despite the added difficulties of operating during a global health emergency.
The health and safety of our team and our communities is at the forefront of everything we do, and I’m extremely proud of the way Amerex has continued to put health and safety first while meeting the needs of our customers across industries. Under difficult circumstances, our production and supply chain teams have shined. Their efforts are helping us improve lead times and product availability as we increase stock at our distribution centers, and they’ve managed that feat while strictly adhering to CDC and company guidelines to promote health and safety and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
We appreciate your business and are here to serve you. Please let us know how we can help you meet the challenges and requirements of your business today, and in the brighter days ahead.
Wishing the best for you, your family, your business and your team members,
Ben Pitts
Vice President – Sales and Marketing
