Ternium implemented a comprehensive plan to mitigate coronavirus’ (COVID-19) contagion risk in all its locations, including both industrial and commercial areas. The health and safety of our people, as well as the service offered to our clients, keeps being our primary goal.
This page will be continuously updated to offer information about our response to this rapidly evolving situation.
We are working closely with our clients, promoting the integral and constant use of WebService, our digital tool that allows virtual and remote access to the entire Ternium business cycle in real time. This includes access to the detail of all orders, payments, delivery plans, among other elements. Through our social networks we are close to our chain of value sharing experiences and good practices, as well as all the preventive measures implemented so that our clients and suppliers can also apply them. Likewise, the programs and trainings were transferred to a virtual format.
Given the uncertainty around the spread of COVID-19 and the imposition of protective measures, it is not possible to predict all the effects that the health crisis may have on our operations and supply chain. We are constantly reviewing orders and remain in close contact with our customers, keeping them up to date about the situation.
We have established crisis management committees in Ternium’s plants to monitor the development of facts related to the virus closely and to implement and adjust action plans when necessary.
We have established a full disinfection routine in our factories and facilities. This action includes, for example, regular cleaning of all critical control rooms and workstations.
We are maximizing our efforts to limit social contact to avoid contagion. We have established a maximum number of people to each workstation to comply with the recommended social distancing.
Dining rooms are arranged to guarantee adequate social distance; we will offer take-out food services as well.
Right now, all our industrial operations are regularly working and have not been affected.
We are distributing disposable face covers to employees, subject to availability, following recommendations by local authorities and Medical Service.
