Elcam Stands Strong– Update #9

As we continue to navigate the ongoing conflict in our region, we continue to provide you with an update on our operations and the proactive steps we have taken to ensure uninterrupted service.

Despite the tensions in the northern part of Israel, Elcam Medical’s facilities remain fully operational. We are pleased to report that there has been no disruption in our supply chain, and we assess the probability of future disruptions as low. We are committed to maintaining this stability and are prepared for various contingencies.

To remind you of the measures we have implemented to mitigate any risk of supply disruption:

Inventory Redistribution: We have strategically moved inventory to our logistic centers in Dalton and our facility in Carpi (MO), Italy. This is in addition to our existing logistics center in North America, ensuring a diversified storage solution that supports continued supply.

Flexible Production Capabilities: We have enabled the production of similar products at both our Dalton and Bar’am facilities, enhancing our flexibility and responsiveness to demand fluctuations.

Government Support: Elcam is designated as a “vital facility” by the Israeli government. This status affords us full support to keep our operations running smoothly, including priority in logistics and additional security measures.

We remain hopeful for peaceful times and are vigilant in our efforts to ensure that our operations are not affected. Your trust in our ability to deliver high-quality medical components during these times is greatly appreciated, and we do not take it lightly.

Thank you for your continued partnership and understanding. We will keep you informed of any significant changes and are here to answer any questions you may have.

This combination guarantees the highest level of safety for high pressure stopcocks, without compromising user friendliness.
