BROOKLYN – IEH says it is exempt from the latest New York State mandate issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo regarding non-essential businesses closing until further notice due to the spread of Covid-19.

IEH president and CEO Dave Offerman said the firm is classified as an essential business, as IEH provides defense articles to the US government and its prime contractors.

Therefore, IEH will remain open with a reduced staff, as all employees over 65 or with underlying medical conditions, those who care for them, or those without childcare, will remain at home.

Due to these shortages, production has been impacted, and delivery schedules will be affected. We continue to try to minimize the effect to schedules as much as possible, but the health and well-being of the company’s employees and their families are paramount and will continue to be a priority.

Office and administrative staff have the capability to work from home, so IEH will remain in communication with customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders.

The company will continue to communicate its status as circumstances change.
