We have always had a “safety first mindset” and, in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak this mindset has become deeply ingrained into the core of all of us - more than ever.
We are a family and we look out for each other’s well-being. Safety measures are on high alert as we have a responsibility to protect our people, as well as our customers and the consumer. Our industry is essential in ensuring the well-being of all Americans. Garlock is in the homes of practically all Americans through our packaging. We have a great responsibility to our country to keep our employees healthy and our supply chains open. The constant flow to replenish packaging fulfillments for food and household items in the wake of this emergency has opened many eyes to the importance of our industry. We stand proud and ever strong as an essential manufacturer in the United States.
