WE ARE TOUGHER TOGETHER.
Learn what we are doing to do our part during the COVID-19 health crisis.
In this time of uncertainty, each day brings new challenges and difficult decisions. But together, we’re tougher. Our customers, dealers, employees and communities have what it takes to face what’s ahead. We’re digging deep to solve problems, working hard to support each other and powering through to face each new challenge head on. Through it all, there’s one certainty – that together we can overcome our toughest challenges.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, we are committed to keeping you informed about the actions we are taking to support our employees, dealers, customers and communities.
Doosan Bobcat has continued to operate during the pandemic as a manufacturer within the critical infrastructure sector, as designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This designation is an honor, and we want to ensure you that our top priority continues to be protecting the health and safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate.
We have continued to enact preventive measures to protect our people and help limit the spread of the virus. This includes travel restrictions, enabling remote working capabilities, following social distancing guidelines, enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of our facilities, limiting visitor access and other necessary steps – all of which will continue to remain in effect for the foreseeable future.
We are also managing our operations as the pandemic significantly impacts business conditions here in the U.S. and around the globe. We are now seeing disruptions in global supply chain operations, so we are taking appropriate actions to adjust our plans and timelines to respond to these challenges. Through all of this, we continue to provide support and services to meet the needs of dealers and customers, while following all guidelines and directives from state and federal governments.
There is no mistaking the challenge we are all facing. In the days and weeks to come, we will continue to protect the well-being of our employees, and work to strengthen our future and ensure business continuity during this unprecedented crisis. Thank you for your continued support and interest in Doosan Bobcat. We will get through this together.
