Preusse noted, While the company continues to operate, WITTMANN BATTENFELD has taken its own measures to prevent the spread of the virus, instructing many of its employees to work from home." "We have about 30 employees at our two facilities in Torrington, Connecticut, doing the necessary work," he said. "Fortunately, we took action and got ahead of the curve. Before the emergency shutdown of all office personnel and most manufacturing personnel, we tested our information technology systems and put them on a "hot state." We now have more than 50 employees working remotely."

has made some changes to the company's customer service to help ensure that mold makers continue to receive the support they need. For example, a series of robot-training webinars has been created to temporarily replace in-person sessions. In addition, the company has a number of apps and online support systems available to customers around the clock. We have region-based service staff who can drive to customers' locations when needed, minimising air travel. We are running team viewer meetings, web-based services, and in-person interactions with customers to help keep them operating, and orders are still coming in. Many of these orders are emergency orders to help with the pandemic."

Prowse noted that he writes "All staff updates" every two days to keep lines of communication open and all staff informed of new developments. He also arranged for two weeks of pay and paid time off to help employees complete the initial executive order that closed all Connecticut businesses for 4.5 weeks beginning March 20." By Sunday, March 22, the state had reversed course and offered tax exemptions and tax breaks to all Connecticut manufacturing companies. Necessary. "But we like the idea of keeping labor to a minimum," Prowse said. "We think it's a better measure to reduce the spread of this epidemic and the terrible overwork in our hospitals, which leads to unnecessary deaths. I'm proud of how we allow each of our staff to use their own security measures or families need to stay home, or volunteer, "he said. "The spirit of those employees who are still helping with vital work orders boosts our morale and reminds us that we really do play a vital role in the fight against this epidemic."

" Plastic is the basic material for making the items that are essential to fighting the COVID-19 crisis, "said Prowse. "In an era like this, the importance of plastics cannot be underestimated and we are proud to be a part of this industry. It should be noted that a few weeks ago in the news. Plastic is bad. The slogan is now the opposite, because the world knows that plastic is an important material that saves lives."
