As Aroa manufactures its products in New Zealand and also sources most of its raw materials there, we are not currently experiencing supply chain disruption.
Where supplementary raw materials are imported, these have been ordered proactively and alternative suppliers have been engaged, so that adequate stocks of raw material are available through to the end of 2020. We are currently operating our manufacturing facility at full capacity to provide contingency and increase stocks of our products. Aroa is also shipping in larger quantities to ensure that three months’ of stock is held at our San Diego distribution centre in the United States.
“We are committed to working closely with our customers, distribution partners, suppliers and our team to maintain continuity of supply of our soft tissue repair products through and beyond the duration of social and economic impacts of COVID-19,” Dr Ward said.
Please also note the following:
- Aroa currently has inventory of product in the United States, Canada and Europe to meet anticipated sales for the foreseeable future
- We are following all WHO guidelines and directives from local health authorities and are reviewing all non-essential travel, meetings and gatherings on an ongoing basis
- We will continue to monitor the situation and update our plan and stakeholders as necessary.
