Corona pandemic: what does igus do?

Status: the current restrictions in Germany at the moment do not have any influence on production at our Cologne facility. igus is currently delivering without restrictions from the Cologne warehouse and all other warehouses worldwide. Presently, we are not witnessing any impact on our supply chains. In individual cases, however, delays in deliveries by transport companies can occur locally, depending on the current situation. In most countries and at the Cologne headquarters, large numbers of employees are working from home in order to prevent further infection. In all public areas, wearing face masks is strongly recommended.

This page will provide an overview of the measures we have implemented to protect our employees, explain how we have helped by donating significant numbers of face shields, and highlighting digital and other channels we are using to provide customers with the best possible service during this time.

Covid-19: Measures in Cologne HQ

With a few exceptions, all igus motion plastics are manufactured at the headquarters in Cologne. Here, production is currently operating without restrictions. To ensure that this continues, we have implemented more than 250 preventive measures since February 2020, and not only those prescribed by the authorities but also others above and beyond them.

Best possible customer service even in these times

A huge, real innovation trade show in Cologne, which you can visit alone or together with igus specialists via the web. In-house exhibition at your site - naturally according to strict hygiene rules. A simple sample display at your premises - for a few weeks or longer. Individual sample packages with subsequent online training. In addition, as always, consultation via smart phone, chat or even quite conventionally via telephone, e-mail and at your premises.

Face Shields made and sponsored by igus®

We identified a problem in the production of medical protective shields and were able to produce 2,000 headbands for face shields daily via injection moulding. We donated the shields to non-profit and charitable institutions and educational establishments around the world.
