What we’re doing to help the spread of COVID-19
To our valued Customers,
There is no higher priority to our organization than the safety of our customers and employees. We have been closely following CDC guidance on the Coronavirus (COVID-19) since January in order to ensure our Technicians are not only safe, but are keeping our Customers safe. We are continuing to stay on top of this evolving situation.
We want you to feel confident when our technicians are on-site and working on your food and beverage equipment. As a result we have implemented additional cleaning procedures and have mandated a policy of self-quarantine in the event it is determined that technicians have worked in infected facilities. It is important that our customers alert us immediately upon discovery of exposure within a facility. This notification is critical in order to protect our Technicians, provide proper medical care, and prevent further spread of this disease.
We also believe that by working together we can help reduce the severity of this epidemic. Therefore we are strongly recommending significant additional measures be taken at your site, such as ice and water machine sanitizing, microbial grease trap solutions, as well as strategic stocking of replacement parts, etc. Please reach out to us today to discuss our complete list of recommended precautionary measures to best protect your facility.

We urge you to take these necessary measures, standing ready to deploy our unrivaled resources to meet today’s health, workplace and food safety challenges.
