Corona pandemic: what does igus do?
igus is open round the clock and is making deliveries faster than ever before. 5,000 orders leave our warehouse every day. In the video, we show you the measures we are taking to keep our factory and logistics apparatus running at all times without any restrictions as we have always done in the past.
Status: The current restrictions in Germany have no impact on our production at the Cologne site. igus® is currently delivering without restrictions from stock Cologne and all other warehouses worldwide. We also do not currently see any impairment of the supply chains. In individual cases, however, there may be local delays in deliveries by transport companies, depending on the current situation. In most countries and at our headquarters in Cologne, a large number of employees are working from home to prevent infection. Wearing face masks is strongly recommended in all public areas.
On this page, we provide an overview of the measures we have implemented to protect our employees, how we have been able to help through extensive face shield donations and which digital and analogue channels we offer to provide you with the best possible service during this time.
Covid-19: Measures at the Cologne site
With a few exceptions, all igus® motion plastic is manufactured at the headquarters in Cologne. Production is currently running here without any restrictions. To maintain this, we have implemented over 250 preventive measures since February 2020, both those prescribed by the authorities and those that go beyond them.
Best possible customer service even now

Customised sample packages with subsequent online training. In addition, as always, advice via smartphone, chat or in the traditional way by phone, e-mail and at your premises.
Face shields made and sponsored by igus®
We addressed a central problem in the production of medical face shields and were able to produce 2,000 headbands for face shields every day in the injection moulding process. We donated the parts to non-profit and charitable institutions and educational establishments worldwide.
