March 30, 2020 | Lenthor EngineeringEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Lenthor Engineering, Inc., a California based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex printed circuit boards, announced last week actions being taken resulting from the COVID-19 advisories.
To continue in an operational status, Lenthor is using several exemption rules provided under both Support of Essential Businesses and the need to maintain internal essential operations for the business.
Many of the company's military and medical product customers sent letters of confirmation to these exemptions. With their support, Lenthor Engineering has been able to maintain full production in all areas of manufacturing while still allowing for proper social distance standards.
This action ensures that Lenthor is able to continue to move product and continue to deliver against the vital needs of our customers. They are fully open for business, ready and willing to support your requirements.
The company has enabled all of their front end sales support functions and personnel, sales, engineering, CAM engineering and production planning to be fully functional should they need to work remotely. This action will enable them to continue to serve all customer needs with new design reviews, technical support, quoting, accepting purchase orders, design reviews, DFMs and production planning.
All of the practical work place habits being emphasized by our health professionals are in place. These measures are being enacted in order to mitigate the potential risk of exposure to employees, their families and our community as a whole.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO. I think back to my first APEX EXPO, and the changes since then are too numerous to count.
