As an internationally active company, which is also strongly represented in Asia, the topic of Corona Virus has been with KEBA since January. KEBA China have already successfully restarted production after the extended vacation on the occasion of the Chinese New Year. Five subsidiaries in China have been back in normal operation for some time.
As a result of the continuous coordination with colleagues in China, KEBA also established a Corona task force in Europe at a very early stage. The objective of this task force is to protect the employees as best as possible and to maintain production and customer support. Extensive measures were quickly taken not only in Austria, also in all the subsidiaries - whether in Italy, Germany, Romania, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, the Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan, Turkey or the USA.
KEBA production staff at all individual locations ensure that the company is able to produce and deliver in each of these Corona crisis weeks.
KEBA service technicians are working especially in the area of critical infrastructure and make sure that the systems are running or are put into operation.
In Austria, more than 500 employees currently work in their home office and are in constant dialogue with the customers, partners and suppliers. Even if this is not the time for face-to-face contact, KEBA is constantly in touch with the customers with the help of state-of-the-art technology.
KEBA can be reached without restriction: still in the classic way by e-mail or telephone and virtual meetings allow to overcome the "prescribed" distance very easily.
The procurement situation is still very tense. A special task force has been working for weeks to manage the supply chains. So far the company has been able to handle all challenges and hops that it will continue to be successful.
The situation, which nobody has ever experienced in this way, means a great deal of effort and many uncertainties. KEBA team has organized itself to remain capable of acting in this dynamic situation. They are continuing to do everything possible to maintain operations and meet the obligations and to support customers and partners as best they can.
