As defined by the Department of Homeland Security, foundries are part of the critical manufacturing sector. Travis Pattern is a critical supplier not only locally, but regionally and nationally for the agricultural, electrical transmission/communication, mining, oil and gas industries as well as many others. These industries are core to our daily business.
We have been, and are taking all precautions that have been provided by the local, state and federal government as well as the CDC to protect the employees while at work. We have some telecommuting when possible, but for our factory, that is not possible. We have identified and communicated with each foreman of each department on the enforcement of social distancing. We have and will continue to have conversations with our employees about spacing, cleanliness and what to do if they believe they are infected or have come into contact with someone who has.
As of now we will remain open to serve the critical needs of our customers and this country.
Employees with specific health concerns are encouraged to call their doctor for medical advice.

Travis Pattern & Foundry/Travis Iron Works manufacturing falls into multiple "Critical Infrastructure Sectors" according to the US Department of Homeland Security – this is why we continue to stay open as much as possible during the current pandemic.

We still need to work very hard at maintaining social distancing while at work as well as continued cleaning, washing of hands as well as other safe practices.
