“With a heavy heart, we close our headquarters for the next two weeks,’ said Christoph Gamper, CEO, Durst Group.
The company confirmed last week that a staff member had tested positive to the novel coronavirus Covid-19 but said at the time that, “the employee in question has not been [at] the company for 13 days and has had only very limited contact with other employees.”
In an update this week, Gamper said: “Fortunately, we have no more cases, and we are all doing well. Still, out of solidarity with our families and out of respect for doctors and medical staff, we are doing what helps most: we are actively contributing to stop the further spread of the virus and stay at home.
“We took the issue very seriously from the very beginning, and we continue to do so. We help wherever we can - for example, with masks and protective suits for the hospital in Brixen, which, like many institutions, is currently struggling with a lack of resources.”
Durst Phototechnik AG has more than 500 employees worldwide. Its corporate management, research and development departments, production, marketing, sales, logistics and services are all located at its headquarters in Brixen, South Tyrol, Italy.
Brixen is also the main production site for the industrial printing systems. read more here
