The coronavirus crisis hit almost all companies across Germany at the start of 2020. Incoming orders also fell for us and the forecasts for the coming financial year did not look good at first.
However, our close cooperation with our Chinese subsidiary proved its worth. The latter had to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, its economic consequences and possible solutions several weeks in advance. The result was urgently needed mask machines, which were designed and built at top speed.
We used these machines as a basis and developed them further to meet European CE standards. The first machines were delivered just a few months after the outbreak of the pandemic.
The economic result is impressive. According to our Managing Director Thomas Mack, we had the most profitable financial year in the company's history and this "is largely thanks to the commitment and flexibility of our employees." The strong demand could only be met with overtime and work on Sundays and public holidays.
Over 90 mask machines have now been built and sold. This not only pays off for the company, but also for our workforce. As a thank you to all of them, they receive a profit-sharing bonus of 5,000 euros per employee.
