Force Majeure Update COVID-19 Situation TE Connectivity - Evora, Portugal
Dear Madam or Sir,
We would like to provide you with an update to our prior Force Majeure notifications.
The COVID-19 pandemic is increasing the disease numbers whole over Europe, and also specifically in Portugal. Furthermore, the new mutations of the COVID-19 are causing significantly higher numbers of infections, which also negatively impact our production capability. In addition, the Portuguese government has implemented more restrictive measures and has closed the schools in the whole country. TE Connectivity implemented, in line with local government rules and regulations, protective measures at an early stage that were aimed at avoiding the risks of employee infection. Measures included working from home wherever it is possible and reducing personal contacts for those who must continue to work in our plants to keep our operation running.
Despite the above described efforts to mitigate any negative impacts, the number of infections is rapidly increasing. The government measures of closing schools also negatively affect our operation. This measure might cause disruptions in our production and in our ability to deliver on time. This will primarily impact automotive relay products.
Of course, we continue to strive to ship all orders on time. However, we would like to point out that the disruptions caused by the quarantine measures represent an event of Force Majeure, against which occurrence we are powerless. Therefore, all prior Force Majeure notifications and subsequent updates remain in full force and effect.
We will keep you informed of any developments as a result of the ever changing dynamics of the pandemic. Should you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact your regionally assigned TE Sales & Customer Service Team.
We thank you for your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Andrzej Zubka
Senior Director of Sales – EMEA
