With the unprecedented Coronavirus Pandemic we are all facing, Tepe Sanitary Supply is experiencing 'congestion' in our supply chain from multiple suppliers. Given the restrictions we are getting from our manufacturers, we are now in a position where we must allocate product as it arrives on our dock. In most all cases we are only being allocated a fraction of what we placed on order. The products I'm referring to are primarily disinfectant cleaners, hand sanitizers, disinfectant wipes, paper supplies, nitrile gloves and most recently antibacterial hand soap. When possible, we are also seeking alternative suppliers to meet your needs. As we run across these alternate sources your sales representative will reach out to you.
To that end we are considering frontline Healthcare, First Responders, Police & Fire Department priority orders. The fact that school systems, manufacturing, restaurants and more are closed for the foreseeable future we anticipate demands to be lower and will fill those orders as stock levels permit. Supplies are moving our way but at a much slower pace than in a typical business environment.
We pray that you and your family enjoy good health during this outbreak and encourage healthy living habits. Clean & disinfect contact surfaces, social distancing, regular handwashing and to follow the Presidents Coronavirus Guidelines for America.
We appreciate all of you and the partnership with your organization.
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay together...'this too shall pass'
Sincerely,
Steve Tepe
