Polykemi joins the fight against COVID-19

Polykemi AB received an urgent call on Friday afternoon from a customer in Switzerland, where a number of extraordinary measures were required. A material used in respirators was urgently needed in the fight against Coronavirus (COVID-19), which caused Polykemi to act even faster than usual.

Within minutes after, both production and transport departments were informed. After a few working hours, the order was received, and the material was planned for production. A couple of hours later, the material was produced, quality-approved and in stock waiting for transport in the fastest possible way directly to the waiting customer. The material was sent from Polykemi on Tuesday 24 March and arrived to the customer the day after.

The material, POLYfill PPH GF5015HC FA Natural, is used for details in respirators, a product that is in high demand.

Mattias Persson, Sales Manager at Polykemi, said: “ We are very pleased that our flexible organisation with short decision paths and distinct team spirit has enabled Polykemi to contribute in the fight against the virus.”
