Due to the highly dynamic and unpredictable development of the global corona pandemia caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the overall frame conditions and available business-related information are changing every day.
We have to face, that SEW-EURODRIVE’s production and supply chain will also be affected.
This may cause unpredictable bottlenecks in our deliveries to our customers. With regard to Europe and its up to now identified high-risk areas of the SARS-CoV-2 spread, we cannot forecast the development of the next weeks. Therefore, we are going into a day-to-day operational decision-making process, focusing on the best short-term service to our clients.
The present pandemic situation is a literal case of the Force Majeure. We cannot predict neither the time of duration nor its effect and future impacts in a certain way. Please be assured that we are doing our very best to reduce the negative consequences of the pandemia on our mutual business.
SEW-EURODRIVE is aware of its overall social responsibility. As a company with a global footprint, we focus on the support to the relevant key industries, also called as “system relevant key industries” by official authorities.
The safeguarding of the production and logistics flows in such industries as e.g. food, beverage, pharmaceutics, health care, energy as well as logistics in general, is our top priority when it comes to crisis management.
