Carsten Ellermeier, CEO of Prettl Electronics Group
“ We actually coped very well with the pandemic, thanks in a large part to the flexibility of all our employees. Fortunately, none of our employees in the Electronics Group died as a result of Covid-19. At first we had a very good order situation in 2020, then came the dip in Q2 and Q3; however, bookings recovered considerably, characterized by strong demand from the medical sector. Furthermore, we were classified as a critical infrastructure supplier, which made a lot of things easier for us, including being able to prioritize employees for vaccination. The main challenge I see this year is the supply chain. „
