Coronavirus Update
In order to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and reduce the risk of exposure to our Team Members, their families, and our visitors, we have decided to restrict all visitors at all facilities except for business essential personnel. A General Manager or above must approve access to any visitor other than contractors or vendors that support our normal day to day business such as truck drivers. Business essential personnel will still be asked to complete the Visitor Health Check. If you have been in close contact (within 6 feet for more than 15 minutes) to anyone WITH SYMPTOMS waiting on test results, diagnosed or quarantined in relation to COVID-19 in the last 14 days, or have had cold or flu-like symptoms within the last 24 hours, access will be denied. Visitors can view the updated visitor procedure ahead of time by clicking the “Updated NAL Visitor Procedure” button.

“I can remember the days when we carried our own lawn chairs and coolers of snacks and drinks to the break area outside, and the day we no longer had to wear hard hats due to construction,” recalled Toni Dye, Plant Quality Control Supervisor. “After working at NAL for 20 years, I can say we have some of the best pay in this area with outstanding benefits. I have met some amazing people with whom I’ve developed friendships with outside of work and have watched their children & grandchildren grow up.”

Did you know that Cinco de Mayo is often mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day, which is actually recognized on September 16th? Cinco de Mayo, rather, celebrates Mexico’s victory over the French Empire in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. More popular in the United States than in Mexico, Cinco de Mayo has become associated with the celebration of Mexican American culture. Thanks to our Farmington Hills Team Members for the history lesson!
