“Quickly and transparently responding”
“I think we have a hell of a lot right. How we have acted, is also from today’s point of view, a blueprint, on how to break the chain of Infection”, says Engelmann. “We have quickly and transparently respond quickly tested and hygienic measures introduced. I think you can get a flicker of outbreaks in the handle. But of course you need always a little bit of luck.”
Two days after the first Case, on 27. January Webasto castle his Headquarters for two weeks. Together with the state Agencies managed the outbreak to capture. “The authorities have been able to us a kind of a test case to drill the well,” Engelmann says in retrospect. “Maybe we have had in Germany thus, even a small lead, before the right wave went off.”
The outbreak at the headquarters coped well
“Speed was and is extremely important,” says the Manager of his experience. You should immediately make lists together, immediately test it and quickly get a result. The only way to obtain the Virus. “We have helped the authorities in the initial stage, certainly also because we have made our staff available, the phone calls the employees afterwards.” Overall, he rated the cooperation with the authorities, from today’s point of view as a “very good”. You’ve learned jointly.
The experiences have also used the Webasto itself. “We had cases at different locations: USA, Mexico, even Europe,” says Engelmann. There, you didn’t need to but close. “It was enough to react quickly and consistently to a further spread to prevent.”
The outbreak at the headquarters in Stockdorf Webasto has coped with according to Engelmann good. Economically, he had no large effects.

Webasto economically Corona Pandmeie betoffen

The more also catch up on the year. “In the long term, we will have over the next four, five years of lower volumes in global vehicle production,” says Engelmann. “That makes the necessary investments in new areas such as electric mobility more difficult.”
