Coronavirus and Sun Chemical inks

Jeffrey Shaw, Sun Chemical's Supply Chain Manager, says: "We have set up control teams to manage each of these areas in China.. (stock, transit, orders, editor's note) and to take the necessary precautions to avoid any supply disruption. And, we also focus on materials from China and other high-risk regions that are indicated to us. We will continue to keep our customers informed during this process. We are committed to following this process with our customers to ensure that supply disruptions are minimized."
