Robert Goldstein, CEO of US Nuclear Corp., commented:
“As with many other companies, we were impacted by COVID-19. To ensure the health of our employees, one of our manufacturing branches was temporarily closed down for approximately 3 months (March-May) to allow employees to isolate safely at home. In addition, staggered, shorter working hours were implemented to help reduce the number of people in the building and maintain social distancing. Sales were moving slower for a time due to customers being out of the office or working from home, leading to a disruption in purchasing. However, we are thankful to be an essential manufacturer and that our instrumentation is still required world-wide for safety and regulation.
Fortunately, there are also many upsides. I have increased our sales staff to help us boost revenue and sell to broader markets, such as focusing on military and homeland security. Our efforts to protect our employees from COVID-19 has proved successful. US Nuclear is a healthy company with a large order backlog and many more orders in the pipeline, and we are projecting a very strong year ahead. We are also extremely excited about our recent 40% purchase of Grapheton back on February 3, 2020, which will help us grow into a leading sensor manufacturer. Grapheton is a truly wonderful startup in the same space as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, and has huge potential for treating a wide variety of injuries and disease with implantable and wearable sensors, such as spinal injuries, chronic pain and depression, Parkinson’s disease, and advanced prosthetics for amputees.”
