At Fiberon Technologies, Inc we are doing our best to keep our worldwide offices open and operational despite the recent developments in the world related to the COVID-19 virus. At times like these, we are all pitching in to make sure that the right balance is struck between prioritizing employee safety while keeping our promises to customers. In accordance with relevant CDC, WHO and local governmental regulations and recommendations, many of our team members are working remotely. However, we do have a skeleton crew of mainly inventory/support staff working at most locations to make sure that we minimize the business side effect felt by our customers.

Further, at Fiberon office locations in the USA (California and Massachusetts) in which non-essential businesses have been ordered closed, we have been advised that we are part of the essential/critical infrastructure supply chain in telecommunications and information technology industries. Due to this determination, we will remain open with minimal staffing as an “essential business” despite otherwise “non-essential” business closure mandates.

We will continue to update everyone as the situation evolves. Should you have any questions or comments about this or other related matters, please visit our website at WWW.FIBERON.COM or feel free to reach out to our [email protected] email.
