BINDER's production runs smoothly. The Vice President Operations, Benjamin Jeuthe, was able to take measures weeks ago together with the “Purchasing” department and all other employees in production so that production is also secured in the near future. “We ordered all the necessary components that we don't manufacture ourselves at an early stage,” says Benjamin Jeuthe.
There are also components that the Lebenshilfe facility in Tuttlingen, a workshop for people with disabilities, normally produces for BINDER, but which are currently not available. "The Lebenshilfe has unfortunately closed due to the corona crisis. We can currently produce these parts ourselves, ”says the head of production. But as soon as the crisis is over, they want to support Lebenshilfe again with orders.
It is gratifying that the production employees are all doing well and are highly motivated to get through the crisis well together with BINDER. “Our sick leave is no higher than usual.” The many hygiene measures that BINDER has implemented, especially in production, would be fruitful. "All doorknobs are continuously disinfected, the workplaces have been straightened out and those who deal with suppliers also wear face masks," said the Vice President.
In addition, the warehouse is well stocked so that a customer in Germany can have his new BINDER cabinet in just two days. "Our cabinets are urgently needed for corona research , so we can assure the laboratories that our products are available and will arrive where they are needed in just two days." To support vaccine development. "
