March 18, 2011, Barrington, NJ USA — We would like to thank our customers and business partners who have expressed their care and concern for our entire team in Japan. We are thankful that our Tokyo and Akita operations made it through the quake relatively unharmed and have turned our focus to helping those in need in the affected areas.
In a statement released this morning Timothy Paul Kennedy, President of Edmund Optics Japan, stated “The entire Edmund Optics family is heart struck by the devastation which occurred in Japan this week. Edmund Optics has always had a special connection with the Japanese people. Not only is our Tokyo office the first office to be established overseas, we also have partnerships with Japanese companies which have continued to grow for more than 60 years. We are very inspired by the way our Japanese colleagues have coped during these tragic times supporting family, friends and the community. As we continue to work with one another, our customers, suppliers and the Japanese community will emerge stronger than ever.”
Edmund Optics continues to work extremely close with our employees, business partners and customers to make sure all are taking every precaution to remain safe and to look after basic human needs. Our team near Akita reports that even under difficult circumstances, there are stories of strength, resilience, and compassion.
Robert Edmund, CEO of Edmund Optics, added “We are an American company with strong ties to the Japanese people and culture and are deeply moved by the devastation wreaked upon our friends, colleagues and citizens of Japan. Although we are blessed that such has not been our fate, we are encouraged by first-hand accounts of our colleagues in Akita helping extended family members in the Sendai region by collecting blankets and heaters. We want to help our family of staff and customers by cooperating in every way possible and to offer whatever assistance we can through our generosity and concern for their well-being. If you would like to join our efforts, please contact us today and let us know how you can help.”
