As a valuable partner to UCS Forest Group we want to let you know that to date, during the global COVID-19 pandemic, our distribution operations continue to operate fully in all our markets under the classification of an essential supply chain provider. As governments continue to work towards flattening the curve, they are continuing to define essential services across North America.

Woodworking Network has compiled a comprehensive list of up-to-date information and links to help you understand what it may mean to your business and we are sharing it here (US) and here (CAD).

Q. Is UCS considered exempt from the various “Stay-at-Home" orders?
A. We have been designated as essential, delivering vital products in support of the construction industry. Therefore, we will be continuing to service our customers going forward in our normal course of business across the regions we serve. We will advise should there be any change to this in the future.

Q. Are our divisions still open to ship?
A. Yes be assured that our teams are fully at the ready to process phone and digital communications orders and all of our divisions are currently still taking orders and shipping materials out to our customers on a daily basis.

Q. What is UCS doing to protect our customers? Or employees?
A. Please know that your health and that of your employees is foremost on our minds, as it is for our employees and their families. As a result, all our employees other than operations staff are working from home and have effectively been self-isolated since Monday March 16, 2020. We have also ceased “will call” pick-ups to avoid unplanned contact for our people. We have and will continue to observe all recommended COVID-19 protocols in our facilities as well as in the field. Our drivers have been instructed to call before any deliveries, not to enter your premises without invitation and permission, to maintain social distancing, and to use hand sanitizer before and after every delivery.
