Not only the third Industry, but also the manufacturing in China is affected a lot under the current policy against the coronavirus. Employees and Workers come from Hubei Province are under quarantine period and lots of workers are not yet back into their positions. Hubei province and areas around are not yet open for operation. Hubei and surrounded areas is very essential for Imaging Industry especially for the toner production. 7 manufacturers among all the 29 Chinese toner manufacturers are in Wuhan or Hubei and 6 others are in areas very close to Hubei.

To deal with this situation, HYB started their “Home Office” Program since 2^nd of February and Sales professionals have been taking care of consultations and inquiries from their customers. Started from February 10^th, HYB Sales professionals revert to work and 30% of the production lines turned on since then. To keep the production working under safe condition, HYB organized their management to implement a series of protection on workers, and anti-virus cleaning on the tooling and environment as the rules to follow every day. The production turned on under supervision of Safety Production Supervision Office with official documents.

“All the workers are required to stay in their positions to work with regulated distance and masks & gloves protection without contact between positions. Automatic filling system and transfer belts are turned on to remove hand-over between human beings. We are expecting more recovery of production capacity in next week.” Said the Operation manager in HYB.

HYB PMC and Sourcing Managers made long-term forecast before Chinese New Year and their toner from overseas channels are sufficient for the next 3 months. “We have ordered more than 4.8 million dollars of bulk toner and some of them are in position while the rest are in importing process gradually. We are confident that our raw material can play 60-70% important role in our production.” said Ms. Nitta Wang, the Sourcing Manager of HYB.

Some customers have to reconsider their plans due to the inventory shortage due to the challenges faced by their suppliers in Hubei and surrounded areas. “We have customers who decided to pay higher price to order HYB toner for better quality plus higher efficiency and faster delivery. They believe that this is worthy for this period. Once the premium line is launched, it will also attract more local dealers who didn’t find the premium toner category from this group of customers.” Clark Wang, the Sales Manager disclosed some facts.

HYB crew intend to offer extra supports than usual to their customers and those who are in trouble with inventory in this period. We expect to overcome the unexpected difficulty with our customers and trust that victory will come.
