IMDEX today provides an update on the measures it is taking to protect its people and ensure continuity of operations for clients globally.
IMDEX COO and CEO elect, Paul House, said:
“We have two key commitments. Number 1, protect our people, including our employees, their families, our clients and all other stakeholders within IMDEX’s global community. Number 2, protect the continuity of our business for our valued clients.
“IMDEX is a strong financially secure business and we are a strong cohesive team. We will get through this together with resilience, trust, innovation and teamwork, as well as our usual hard work.”
The company has established a Crisis Management Team, which is supported by Emergency Management Teams in each region, to closely monitor and respond to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following is a summary of its principal actions.
Protecting our People
- IMDEX is adhering to recommendations by the World Health Organisation (WHO) together with regional, federal and state health departments.

Ensuring Business Continuity for Clients

- Due to the long running trade war between the US and China, IMDEX has been preparing for potential supply chain risks for the last two years.
