Due to current circumstances and the spread of the coronavirus the situation in Switzerland has been categorized as special in accordance with the Epidemics Act.

Früh Verpackungstechnik AG has assembled an internal team comprised of members of executive and senior management. This team meets at regular defined intervals, uses the latest information (TV, radio, newspapers, government authorities) to analyze the latest developments and their impact on our company in order to be able to respond quickly to changing circumstances and recommendations by the national and cantonal authorities.

All employees are being made aware of the situation with the aim of providing them with in-depth information about current events, the spread of the disease in neighboring countries and among their friends and family as well as correct hygiene measures both within the company and outside of it. The hygiene measures and travel guidelines issued by the Swiss Federal Office for Public Health must be observed.

At present, we are not seeing any negative consequences in the supply chain and in our production. As a precautionary measure, we are increasing our stocks of face masks and disinfectants. Additional hand disinfectant stations have been set up for employees and visitors. We are reducing visits to foreign countries as well as customer and supplier visitors to our offices to an absolute minimum, and we are also postponing meetings that have already been until a later date set if such meetings are not absolutely necessary.

The aim of these measures as well as the ongoing involvement of our employees is to prevent the spread of the virus internally. The regular meetings will enable us to adapt the measures quickly to current circumstances and are intended to ensure the continued maintenance of production at our company.
