Kingchem Statement to Our Customers on the Coronavirus Outbreak

Kingchem Life Science LLC of New Jersey and Kingchem Liaoning Chemical Co., Ltd. of Fuxin, Liaoning Province, China have been monitoring the Coronavirus outbreak in China carefully. We are fortunate to be able to report that our manufacturing plant in Fuxin and our R&D center in Dalian are located far from the epicenter of the outbreak and have not been impacted. Our manufacturing plant has been open and operating this entire time, including during the New Year’s celebration period.

To minimize the risk of virus contamination, we decided to have our Shanghai employees and a number of our Dalian office employees safely work from home. Further, it should be noted that Kingchem has no operations in or near the Wuhan area of China, and no Kingchem employees have been subjected to the outbreak. In fact, Kingchem took the safe approach and stopped purchasing all raw materials from Hubei province as soon it was learned that the coronavirus outbreak had occurred in Wuhan.

Also upon the outbreak, the Kingchem Liaoning Chemical Co. quickly went ahead to form an anti-virus committee to enable us to put into place a business continuity response of monitoring the outbreak, looking for any potential impacts on daily plant operations, monitor suppliers for impacts, follow any required government regulations, ensure support of our employees with equipment such as the daily distribution of masks, etc. and to take a number of other actions to minimize the risk of virus contamination. As a consequence of all of the preceding, we are pleased to report that our operations and shipments continue as normal.

Finally, customers concerned about travel to China at this time may want to consider video, web or audio conferencing, and may rest assured that Kingchem will take any and all steps necessary to assist you in this way.

We appreciate the understanding and support from our customers during such a challenging time. We will continue do our best to manage our day to day activity and will keep you informed of any changes in the situation.

(We invite you to also review our other Newsroom item entitled “Kingchem & Social Responsibility in the Face of Adversity: The Coronavirus Outbreak” concerning the contributions of Kingchem and our American employees to the Fuxin branch of the Red Cross of China and local municipal government’s struggles against the virus in the face of local shortages of protective masks, gloves, goggles etc.)
