NAL COVID-19 Update: Kirk Gadberry Addresses Team NAL
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the chance to visit some of our manufacturing locations. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing and speaking with so many of our Team Members after such a long time. The most common question I’ve been asked is, “How long are we going to have to wear these masks?”
NAL COVID-19 Update: Manufacturing Operations as of June 12
All manufacturing facilities are operating at this point. Team Members can request more details by contacting their Supervisors.

When the COVID-19 pandemic put a significant strain on the PPE supply available for health care workers, NAL’s Team Members were quick to respond.
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. We will NOT allow access to anyone that is currently sick or has been sick in the last 14 days. If you have traveled to China, South Korea, Italy, or Iran, or had close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, or have cold or flu-like symptoms within the last 14 days, access will be denied. Visitors can view the updated visitor procedure ahead of time by clicking the “Updated NAL Visitor Procedure” button.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Koito Manufacturing is the parent company of North American Lighting. As a Koito Group Company, NAL operates according to kaizen management principles, which means we manage, measure and improve everything we do. That’s how in 35 short years, NAL has grown to become the leading tier one supplier of automotive lighting systems in North America.
Our vision is to dramatically improve roadway safety by developing innovative lighting technologies that enhance driver vision and response time. We are a team continuously working to bring our vision to light.
With nine facilities in North America, our people are our greatest asset. NAL is hiring engineers, supervisors, trainees, manufacturers, interns and a whole lot more!

May want to add they need a high school diploma or GED and to be able to pass a drug screen. I know someone who had their hopes up, said they were hired went to report to work and they didn’t get the job.
They test for weed and crack

Daily health screenings are a part of NAL’s #newnormal to ensure Team Members are not exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of taste or smell) before reporting to work. Thank you to all of our health screeners for making this possible and to our Team Members for your continued cooperation!

You all realize that 80% of cases are asymptomatic.... Right? It is cool though you all are attempting to keep employees safe.✌️
Really wish they would stop referring to it as the new normal. There is nothing normal about it. We desperately need to get back to the old normal.
Great job!!?
Can we stop wearing masks??
Let’s hear it for the red, white and blue this national #flagday.

When the COVID-19 pandemic put a significant strain on the PPE supply available for health care workers, NAL’s Team Members were quick to respond. Exhibiting exceptional customer and community service, they began working on a production process to 3D print face shields to donate to local health care providers. www.nal.com/blog/nal-manufactures-nearly-2000-face-shields-for-local-health-care-providers/

The masks don’t protect from covid, they cause visual obstruction while operating machinery.🤷♂️
The mask should be a personal choice. If you want to wear one fine but everyone has the right to make there own choice! They are ineffective...the box they come in even says they don't stop you from getting the virus!
'A handful of our employees tested positive' ? Why were we not told of this until now??
Thanks for the update Kirk! Hopefully everything will all work out in time!
What plants were these positive cases in?!
Yes the mask should be our choice
Why is everyone complaining about masks? Do they suck? Yes. Do they let you collect a paycheck? Also yes!
Thanks for the update! And good choice of hat! 😃
Should be our choice. Other plants in flora are not made to wear them!
Wow. Masks don't protect healthy people from it
Yeah we are only factory in Flora that has to wear them other has chive to or not
Just wanted to say your hat didn't offend me I just like giving cardinal fans a hard time 🙂
You have always had my respect but happy I am retired
I would be willing to sign a waiver saying it was my choice to not wear a mask. It is only a matter of time before someone gets taken out in an ambulance or get a severe medical condition because of the mask.
After a while you get fibers off the mask in your mouth and gets in your eyes and up your nose!
If you need me Kirk just call or message
Congratulations to our 2020 Scholarship for Excellence recipients! We are excited to see so many local students pursuing business and technical degrees and wish you the best as you begin your college career in the fall. Stay safe and healthy! #seewhatsahead

NAL has been, and I'm sure will continue to be, a company that cares. I have marveled time and again, at their promotion of family and community. That type of bonding investment will only strengthen the foundation on which it was built. As a former employee, I can say with a confidence that their focus on tomorrow will offer all an even "BRIGHTER" path. You are in my prayers.
Thank you
Thank you for telling me Taira Gray

This morning, Team Members from our Paris Plant delivered a pallet of 7500 gloves to the front line medical staff at the local Horizon Health hospital. This in-kind donation followed an earlier delivery of safety glasses to the Illinois State Police to support their updated PPE requirements. We could not be more proud of our Team Members’ initiative and eagerness to help our local communities in these challenging times.
