We are extremely thankful to all our customers out there who are still ordering and operating. We are here for you and will keep you updated as to any changes as they occur.
Earlier today, GroupeSTAHL North America CEO Carleen Gray and I sent an email message to our customers and business partners about the status of our U.S. operations. Although some slight limitations in customer service hours have been made, Stahls’ and Stahls’ Transfer Express remain open and operational. You may have already heard that after a mandate from Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, Stahls’ Hotronix heat press manufacturing facility is closed a minimum of two weeks. (We do have Hotronix heat presses in stock at multiple locations in the U.S.) Please know that Hotronix tech support is still available online and via email. Thank you for your continued trust and patience as we continue working hard to serve you. If anything changes, we will keep you updated and informed. Here is the email message that went out:
