Thank you to everyone for working through this pandemic. Strange times for all of us, but keep up the good distancing, mask wearing, and communication!
It's allergy season, doctors recommend if you take allergy medication that you should be on it as appropriate to help control those symptoms.
We are on schedule to move around June 16th. After the move, we will be able to go back to M-F more regular hours, YAY!

Updated March 26, 2020:
The Governor of Minnesota Issued Emergency Executive Order 20-20 Stay-At-Home starting on Friday, March 27th thru Friday April 10th. Control Concepts is exempt as we supply to both Critical Industries and Critical Manufacturing as listed under U.S. Department of Homeland Security Memo Dated March 19th. Please follow the guidelines that can be found here...https://mn.gov/governor/covid-19/faq.jsp
Other tips for staying safe:
1. Stay home - Stay safe
2. Limit in-store visits through the use of online ordering with curbside pickup such as Walmart, Cub or Target.
3. Wear gloves when visiting gas stations and refilling your vehicle.
4. Restrict visits/outings to your household members only. - Do not let your children play with neighbor children.
5. Avoid home improvement centers such as Home Depot, Menards, Lowes as the current crowd levels are unsafe.
6. Consider the risks of any interactions outside your immediate household such as grocieries, take-out, improvement stores, etc. Every interaction increases the risk to you, family and fellow employees.
If the virus strikes Control Concepts, it will be because someone/something brought it here. Strictly following safety procedures while at work and at home is the best way to protect you, family, and fellow employees.
Updated March 23, 2020:
