2/1/2012: Employee Update
To: Our Valued Family, Customers & Friends
We would like to introduce you to one of our newest employees. Meet Jim L'Amoreaux!
 We are excited to have Jim back with us in our purchasing department. He worked with us from 1992 to 2003 in our Fairfax location. Jim enjoys long drives on scenic highways like Route 66 and spending time with his beautiful family. Jim is also an avid golfer who usually plays in the low 80's. If it gets much hotter than that, he doesn't like to play. A very important aspect of what Jim bring's to us is his 20 years of experience in the parts business.
3/17/2011: EXEDY Update
To: Our Valued Family, Customers & Friends
Thank you for your concerns, phone calls and many emails of sympathy, thoughts and prayers that you have sent regarding the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan last Friday.
Just to inform you of our EXEDY group situation in Japan: Currently our group associates and their families at this time have experienced no injuries at this stage.
Our production facilities in Japan have not been damaged, other than some light finish product, that has fallen from the warehouse shelves at our Kawagoe plant. As a result, this should not affect our ongoing production schedules.
Shipping ports on the east coast are to be open tomorrow and EXEDY product that was scheduled to ship, we believe, will proceed as scheduled. We also want to assure you that we believe our safety stock levels, in MI, USA will be quite adequate to cover any sales orders other than unforeseen spike orders.
Wet friction automatic transmission product, that was manufactured in northern Japan, the tooling and dies were moved two months ago to our plants in Roanoke, VA, USA and China. Therefore, we see no major supply issues on this wet friction product.
However, in this unpredictable situation, if any serious delays are foreseen, we will advise all of our customers as news comes to hand of any production delays.
Once more, the Management of EXEDY Japan and EXEDY Globalparts Corp. USA, sincerely thank our customers for their kind interest, prayers, letters and many emails of concern sent to us along with the quick action taken by the American government to provide assistance and aid in this unfortunate incident.
Sincerely,
Bernard Solomons
Vice President
