Coronavirus Information

On March 20, 2020, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a 21 day statewide stay-at-home order to fight the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Among other directives, the governors decree essentially orders all non life sustaining businesses to close. On April 6th, Governor Whitmer extended that executive order, keeping it in effect until May 1, 2020.

In accordance with paragraph 8(n) of the governors order, Lanzen Incorporated is exempt from the order to shut down and all three Lanzen Michigan facilities currently remain open and operational.

Because of our defense work as both prime contractors to the US Department of Defense and 1st tier subcontractors to BAE and GDLS, Lanzen is considered an essential part of the Defense Industrial Base by the DHS. We intend to stay open as long as we can.

We are taking the decision to remain open extremely seriously. We have been in constant contact with our customers and the DoD who have shared that the work we do in support of national defense is critical. Both company leadership and our customers understand that the circumstances are unprecedented, and we are committed to finding solutions to keep our workforce safe while continuing to meet the needs of our U.S. military. The safety measures we have put in place include providing gloves, masks & sanitizers, incorporating and enforcing social distancing rules, limiting building access to employees wherever possible, and using professional services for periodic sanitizing of the entire Romeo facility.

To our customers, please understand that we are doing everything we can to maintain delivery schedules as best we can, however, the spread of the virus has impacted, and will continue to impact our work force and our vendor base. With fewer workers and supporting vendors, overall delivery schedules will be affected. Please continue to relate your essential needs to us and we will do all we can to support them.

To our vendors, subcontractors and suppliers; considering that your efforts support Lanzen, the designation as an essential business extends to your company. We appreciate your willingness to stay open to serve Lanzen and our Defense Industry customers during these challenging times.
