Human Resources Manager John Gallagher said the company isn鈥檛 seeing a reduction in business due to COVID-19 since most airlines are still operating, but it鈥檚 been difficult for CRT and other local manufacturers to manage some of Governor DeWine鈥檚 recommended precautions, such as taking employee temperatures when they come into work.

Gallagher said CRT is asking employees to take their temperatures themselves and stay at home if they鈥檙e feeling sick, which follows the updated guidance DeWine gave at Thursday鈥檚 press conference. 

Todd Courtney, President of Crown Composites Tooling in Twinsburg, said he's taken similar action with his employees. "We haven鈥檛 implemented any special issues here other than to assure my crew that if they鈥檙e sick they stay home and we鈥檒l take care of their pay," he said.

Gallagher said he's heard other manufacturers have been finding it challenging to keep up with rapid changes in updates and guidance from the state and CDC.

"Normally, you're dealing with, from a reaction standpoint, things moving in week increments," he said. "You'll be operating on a certain number of parameters in the morning, and then that completely changes in the afternoon."

Gallagher also said CRT is consulting with local leaders and manufacturing colleagues to prepare different contingency plans for the coming weeks.
