“We continue to operate our facilities in both Kansas and Louisiana, while instituting additional measures such as social distancing, additional cleaning, sanitizing and working remotely as much as possible,” said Kehrwald in the letter. “These measures are allowing us to keep operating while minimizing the risk to our communities.”
Kehrwald acknowledged a “short-term demand” impacting the company’s ability to supply certain products, but assures customers Hodgdon is doing its best to meet the sudden increase in demand. Kehrwald also thanked customers for their patience while waiting on product to be delivered, and for their support of all of Hodgdon’s products, which include IMR and Winchester powders, as well as Pyrodex, Triple Seven, and GOEX brands.
