Important Information on the Coronavirus (Covid-19) Outbreak | March 20th, 2020
We understand that the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic situation causes a lot of worries and uncertainty among us all. At Yalp, we have prepared ourselves with all possible precautions to prevent the virus from spreading among our staff, clients and customers, suppliers, and all other stakeholders and families. The Health, safety, and well-being of everyone is a matter of heart to us, so we would like to share information on the actions taken by us with you.
All Yalp departments are still represented at the office. You can reach us through all our social channels (website, social media) and e-mail, Skype, Microsoft Teams, and phone. Our factories are still up and running, and our dispatch/delivery times are standard.
Yalp’s Procurement Team has worked hard to secure deliveries of essential components needed in the manufacturing process of sports and play equipment. Thanks to their achievements, our production and deliveries work normally. Our logistic partners are doing their best to secure deliveries to our partners around the world on time. We are following the situation carefully and will let you know if there were any exceptions in shipments due to the situation.
We have taken the following precautions to safeguard the health and well-being of our staff:
- We are happy to help you online by arranging meetings via Skype or Microsoft Teams or other digital channels.
- Our office staff works remotely. Thanks to excellent telecommunications, it is easy for you to contact your Key Account Manager or Sales Coordinator.
- We have postponed or canceled customer visits to Rovaniemi and other facilities until further notice until the outbreak has leveled off. This also applies to sales training events.
- We follow and monitor the development of the Coronavirus situation regularly and set up a special task force, including representatives from our international network. In our daily precautions, we follow the instructions given by the WHO, national and local authorities.
- As a precaution and a regulation by the RIVM (the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment) and the Dutch Government, we have restricted all our staff traveling.
- We are here to support you to proceed with your plans on designing and building new playgrounds and outdoor sports areas. We will serve you with the excellent Yalp spirit as we’ve always done.
