Working with Our OEM Partners on Joint COVID-19 Response Plans

Dear Valued Business Partners,

On behalf of all of us at Merit Medical, I hope you, your colleagues, your friends and families are staying healthy during this troublesome situation. As always, Merit OEM is devoted to maintaining a continuous supply of Merit’s products and components during this unprecedented public health crisis. As I affirmed in my statement last week, Merit’s pre-established business continuity strategy and implementing Merit’s COVID-19 Response Plan will ensure that Merit continues to be operational and firing on all cylinders.

During these uncertain times, Merit is working with our OEM partners to establish joint COVID-19 response plans. This gives our OEM partners the opportunity to leverage Merit’s stable supply chain in building sufficient quantities of safety stock; guaranteeing they meet customer demand. Merit is willing and able to do the same for any of our OEM partners during these challenging circumstances. Submit your orders via customer service (oemorders@merit.com) or contact your business development manager to discuss any additional details.

In an unprecedented move to stop the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania ordered all non-life-sustaining businesses in the state to close their physical locations. As many of our OEM partners know, Merit has a manufacturing facility in Malvern, PA. Fortunately, Merit Medical is classified as an essential life-sustaining business and will continue to manufacture products as scheduled.

As the entire globe responds and navigates this unprecedented situation, the need for up-to-date information and transparent communication is critical. In addition to sending relevant information via email, we are working on a COVID-19 News and Information page on MeritOEM.com, that will contain up-to-date information pertinent to our OEM partners about Merit’s status regarding the COVID-19 outbreak.

Thank you for your continued partnership during these unprecedented times.

Sincerely,
