It’s been a pretty hectic and scary past couple of months, and with the outbreak of Coronavirus COVID-19, it’s brought many businesses in all industries to nearly halt all activity or at least slow them down tremendously. Government officials are imposing moratoriums in all states and, most concerning, nearly all countries.

In Los Angeles County, where TEIN USA, Inc. headquarters is based, many public and private schools are closed, restaurants, bars, and other common places for social gathering, have been either forced to close, or reduce customer interaction to take-out/to-go services only.

We, however, are still operating, doing our best to service our customers as best we can, and we’ll continue to do so until informed otherwise. But, as you can imagine, this outbreak has already taken its toll on TEIN’s manufacturing facilities in China and in Japan. We are starting to see how this affects our imports for our coilovers and springs.

In a way, though, we’re fortunate to have a product that customers want. However, we don’t expect you to all ignore the obvious. This is a time for us to all take inventory at home, and make sure we have the necessary supplies to stay healthy at home, such as food, cleaning/disinfectant supplies, and such. That also includes us TEIN USA staff. While we still have to work, we are exposed to the same dangers as any one of you. Our priority isn’t necessarily to make a suspension sale right now. So, please do what you can to stay safe, even if that means isolating yourself at home.

We hope to see good progress in stopping the spread of the virus in the very near future, and when it does, we’ll be around to service you all once again.

Take care, everybody!
