Corona pandemic: what does igus do?

Status: The corona regulations, which are applicable in Germany from 2nd November 2020 onwards, do not have any influence on production at our Cologne facility. igus is currently making deliveries from our warehouse in Cologne and all other storage locations around the world without any restrictions. At present, we are not witnessing any impairment in 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 infection. In all public areas the usage of mouth/nose masks is obligatory.

On this page, we provide an overview of the measures we have implemented to protect our employees, how we help by donating significant numbers of face shields, and the digital and analogue methods we use to provide you with the best possible service during this time as well.

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 have addressed a central problem in the production of medical protective shields and thanks to injection moulding we can now produce 2,000 face shield headbands per day. We donate the parts to non-profit and charitable institutions and educational establishments.

Covid-19: Measures in Cologne HQ

With a few exceptions, all igus motion plastics are manufactured at the headquarters in Cologne. Production here is currently running without restrictions. In order to maintain this, we have implemented more than 100 preventive measures since the beginning of February, both those prescribed by the authorities and those that go beyond them.
