2020 – A YEAR IN REVIEW

2020 brought its fair share of challenges. Covid-19 was been the biggest challenge of all. Keeping our team and their families safe has been our number one priority. With a huge investment in new protective equipment and processes, EDGE has thus far been successful in minimising the spread of the virus within our workplace.

As a team we have really pulled together and worked hard to alleviate the impact of the virus on our customers and suppliers. With a forced shutdown in the spring we were able to return to work with a renewed vigour and determination to pull back on our stretched delivery dates. With much of the world in the same situation, our team worked closely with our distributors to deliver our products to end customers in record times.

The threat of Covid has not disappeared and although there is light at the end of the tunnel in terms of a vaccine, as a company we remain vigilant and ultra-careful throughout our operations to ensure we help curtail the spread of the virus.

2020 has seen the completion of our new paint shop and the launch of several new products. Our team has grown too and our revenue has also increased. In the face of the global pandemic this growth is testament to the work ethic and commitment of our team. It is also a demonstration of the strong relationships we have with our distributors and customers.

2021 Expansion Plans

2021 will also see an expansion of our product offering. An investment in our fabrication facilities as well as a new equipment demonstration area and ‘Customer Training and Welcome Centre’ will further help us improve our levels of service.

As a team we look forward to 2021 and the challenges it will bring with confidence, in the meantime take a look back at 2020 with us in our review video – https://youtu.be/DyvEZ0faYFU

EDGE COVID-19 RESPONSE

In these uncertain times and after the impact Covid 19 has had on our way of life and on our economy locally, we wanted to share some positive updates with you – our factory is again working at full strength and EDGE’s expansion and development plans are back on course.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

We have strict policies in place for contractors/ suppliers entering the site and have minimised the number of visitors allowed at any given time. Some office staff continue to work from home and are successfully communicating with customers through video and phone.

Our sales and aftersales team are continually talking to customers through Zoom and conference calls, with ongoing technical and parts support still provided.

Darragh Cullen Managing Director, EDGE Innovate

As of 15th June, 90% of our factory employees returned to work. Machines are being manufactured daily and sent out to customers around the world. We have introduced measures in the factory and office to keep everyone safe, including staggered start and break times, additional PPE, one-way systems, additional hand wash and sanitising stations and as much social distancing as is possible.
