To Our Valued Employees, Customers, and Vendors,

With the very recent announcement from Premier Ford announcing the closure of non- essential services, employees, customers, and vendors may be wondering why Advertek continues to operate. Advertek Inc is a critical part of the supply chain by providing packaging for our food and beverage, consumer product goods and pharmaceutical customers who are responding to the crisis by ensuring the availability of goods necessary to respond medically and economically. Advertek also supplies the health care, food retailers, financial and construction industries, which are all deemed essential services industries by the Ontario government.

Our ability to continue normal operations plays a critical role in supporting our customers’ ability to provide essential goods required by our communities and families. That means we have a special responsibility to maintain our normal work schedule. We continue to take aggressive measures to prevent the introduction of COVID-19 to our facilities. This includes monitoring and implementing the most current advice available from Public Heath Ontario.

We appreciate the efforts of every single employee and would like to thank you for your commitment and dedication during this unprecedented crisis.

Sincerely,

Advertek Management
