TriMark Notification for the Coronavirus – COVID-19

Dear Vendor Partner
 
We recognize the significant value of our long-standing relationships with vendors throughout the food service industry. Our dedication in serving this market for over 73 years is demonstrated by our focus on superior distribution practices to ensure our mutual success. Recognizing the economic risks globally amid the outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), TriMark is reaffirming our commitment to keeping you informed. 
 
As this is an evolving situation, we are asking our global manufacturers as well as our North American based suppliers to actively communicate with us and to keep us apprised of any possible supply chain disruptions.
 
TriMark is relying on our vendor partners to provide us with critical updates on supply levels and any potential shortages so that we can offer prompt information to our customers and take pro-active steps to prevent disruption in fulfillment of their essential supplies.
 
The health and safety of our employees, customers, vendor partners and communities are also our top priority. We are evaluating CDC alerts and widespread conditions daily, and examining every aspect of our operations including commercial, product sourcing, procurement, customer service, warehouse fulfillment, and delivery, among other key areas our partners and customers rely on.
 
As questions and concerns arise as a result of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as Coronavirus), our company has recently taken several precautionary measures to provide the highest level of protection across all TriMark locations and for the people we do business with.

On a select basis, depending on the country of origin, we are taking the appropriate steps to make certain all incoming products meet CDC guidelines for safety. Furthermore, we have instructed all employees to seek medical attention immediately if they feel unwell and we do not allow sick employees to report for work under any circumstances. We are taking steps to stock supplies that can support our customers’ preventative measures in this area such as gloves, cleaning supplies and the like. We depend upon our vendor partners to help us achieve this important objective.
 
Our primary focus is two-fold: first, maintaining a healthy workplace and secondly, business continuity. With your support, we’re dedicated to maintaining reliable service to our customers.
 
Please be assured that our team remains strong, diligent and thoughtful during this time. Of utmost importance is partnering with our vendors and serving our customers with unparalleled care, because that is what we do best every day.
