OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT

themselves uncertain of how to move forward. While pricing, availability, and the demand for materials and labor fluctuated wildly across the global market, Anchor Harvey seized the opportunity to promote our local manufacturing and 100% domestic material sourcing to provide struggling manufacturers with a path forward. Highlighting cost parity, higher quality, faster shipping, and continued stability, Anchor Harvey quickly became inundated with orders frommanufacturers all across the country. Results Anchor Harvey has thrived throughout the pandemic by understanding the importance of, and continuously reinvesting in, the health of our employees, the strength of our community, and the resilience of our processes. As a result, 2020 saw Anchor Harvey receive the highest number of quote requests in our company's century-long history. We are setting record sales numbers as we help companies around the country and across industries restore their supply chains and improve the quality of the components in their final products. At several points over the past year, we have expanded operations to accommodate the needs of a growing number of companies across a variety of industries. Currently, we continue to run around-the-clock shifts, seven days a week, to ensure that supply keeps up with demand.

We are proud of the leadership role we have taken throughout this pandemic and of all the talented and dedicated people working at Anchor Harvey who made it possible. Together, Anchor Harvey will continue to work in cooperation with our community and in partnership with businesses across the country to ensure we are all able to emerge on the other side of this pandemic stronger than ever. ■ Tom Lefaivre President & CEO Anchor Harvey Phone: 815-235-3820 Email: tlefaivre@anchorharvey.com
