A Message from Jaime Harris, CEO of Hydra-Flex

We would like to update you on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent State of Minnesota “stay-at-home” directive are impacting our operations.
We would like to update you on how the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent State of Minnesota “stay-at-home” directive are impacting our operations.
To respond to COVID-19, Governor Walz directed individuals living in Minnesota to stay home except as needed to maintain the continuity of operations of the critical infrastructure. This exception allows employees to commute to jobs deemed essential, which includes those employed in the following industry categories:
- Nation’s Infrastructure and Support
- Supplies to Food and Agriculture sectors
- Manufacture, distribution, and supply chain for critical products and industries
These industries have been identified by President Trump as CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRIES, and its employees have been defined by the Department of Homeland Security as ESSENTIAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WORKERS.
Hydra-Flex Inc. provides critical components to these above identified industries and as such is considered a CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE company. Therefore, all employees are considered ESSENTIAL and are allowed to commute to and from our facility. Hydra-Flex will also continue to produce and ship products to customers that are open.
During this period of time, Hydra-Flex has leaned in on our core values to sustain us as a company. We are committed to our employee’s safety, quality and production. Our customers are currently experiencing no delays on orders thanks to our inside and outside teams as well as our tech support.
Everyone is giving 110% to make it through this period of time – especially our production team. They are the definition of GRIT. Their determination and resiliency is an inspiration to our whole company. We are PROUD of our employees and wish you all the best.
Covid-19 is changing how we live and how we conduct business. Hydra-Flex will survive this situation and come out the other side and thrive. On behalf of everyone at Hydra-Flex our thoughts and best wishes are with you, your employees, and your families.
We will GRIT through this!
– Jamie Harris, President & the entire Hydra-Flex, Inc. Family
