From zero to a hundred

“ 2020 was an interesting year. We managed our medical responsibilities very well with regard to our factories and employees. It was also characterized by strong cooperation to tackle the common challenges. However, we had some difficulties throughout 2020 with our automotive customers, some of whom, as you know, were forced to close down their production for the first time in March which resulted in some product launches being postponed. Nevertheless, we managed to get through the year well. By the end of 2020, the situation had changed: By then our order books were fuller although at that same time the materials crisis developed. But all in all, we are looking at 2021 positively. „
