D.B. Roberts : Japan Earthquake News

Supplier Response to the Emergency Situation in Japan

All of us are concerned about the devastating earthquake and tsunami that has plagued Japan. Our hearts go out to the people of Japan who have been affected by this tragic event. We realize that they are a strong and resilient people and will overcome the effects of this terrible tragedy.

Most of our suppliers do not have facilities in Japan. However we do have few and upon receiving the initial news of the earthquake, we immediately contacted those suppliers requesting updates on how the events of March 11, 2011 might affect the flow of material within their supply chain. None of these supplier suffered damage to their plants or their supply chain.

Our suppliers have all committed to regularly updating us on the status of their operations and supply chain as events permit. To make it easier for customers to quickly plugin to this dynamically changing situation, we will post those updates here, on this page, as we receive them. Check back here regularly for the latest supplier news from Japan.

Regarding D.B. Roberts operations, 100% of our inventory is located in our North American distribution centers. Your order backlog and inventory reserves already in our possession are secure and available for delivery.

We recognize the importance of a stable, predictable supply chain to our customers. D.B. Roberts is committed to working with our suppliers to maintain a continual, consistent, and sufficient flow of material to your operations. Thank you for your support and understanding. Please let us know how best we can serve you in this difficult time.

Thank you

D.B. Roberts Company
