A Look Back over the Year

Our string of good weather came to an end this week with snow and ice blanketing much of the Pacific Northwest.   The Ports of Seattle and Tacoma experienced closures and delays. In addition, Interstate 90, the best route to ports in the Inland Northwest, was closed at times this week due to heavy snow fall on Snoqualmie Pass. The weather conditions have stopped or delayed the delivery of containers to the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma. 

Heavy snow in Edescribe the imagellensburg slowed production and transportation into the Washington plant while our Oregon plant experienced its own set of challenges. Extremely heavy rain fall and some flooding has hampered production and transportation from our Aurora facility.

The weather looks to be improving over the weekend and next week will hopefully be easier on production. Though we hope for better weather next week, we are committed to doing our utmost to meet the needs of our customers. One of the benefits that the customers of Anderson Hay experience is our performance under adverse conditions.  We cannot change the weather or keep the highways and ports open but there are many things we can and will do. 

Anderson Hay has invested and structured our business to perform for customers year round.  We have excellent snow removal equipment at our facilities to keep production moving.  Our trucks are top of the line to avoid problems under adverse working conditions.  Production areas are well built and sealed to allow production to continue during the harshest of conditions. 

Relationships and people are what truly make the difference in these situations.  Anderson Hay has invested heavily in relationships, both internally and externally.  Under these conditions our employees take pride in solving the problems.  The phone lines at the office have been busy this week arranging and rearranging shipments.  Our production and trucking teams have worked very long hours and will be working extended shifts this weekend to catch up.  Our transportation and logistics employees have arranged late deliveries and weekend deliveries to the port to help meet our customer’s needs. 

If you have experienced delays in your orders this week please be assured it is a temporary situation and our teams are making every effort get your product shipped promptly.  Thank you for your understanding and support.
