April 17, 2020 – In addition to measures for the protection of employees and to ensure the ability to deliver, the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group has set up a task force to guarantee preferential supply to manufacturers of medical devices. As a European supplier of electronic components, the Waldenburg based company thus wants to ensure that the production of urgently needed medical technology can be further expanded worldwide.
"Some of our electronic components are important elements in medical technology, and in some cases also in intensive care medicine. Our task force is the central point of contact for medical technology manufacturers and companies currently converting their production to urgently needed devices. The task force works closely together with them, determines their component requirements, which in many cases have grown considerably, and prioritizes the corresponding deliveries", says Oliver Konz, CEO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group.
In addition, the company has taken comprehensive measures to protect its employees. Wherever possible, work is done from the home office. Another focus is the online support of customers by know-how transfer via webinars and online conferences.
