Coronavirus / COVID-19: A note to our business partners

Dear business partners,

Many parts of the world enter a period of uncertainty due to the coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic. In these challenging times, we at Primetals Technologies do our best to maintain maximum business continuity. We do so in an environment of challenging and ever tightening restrictions mandated by governments and public health authorities on national and local levels in a still increasing number of countries all around the globe.

The health and safety of both your and our employees is our top priority. We have put in place a range of measures to minimize risks of transmission within our organization and beyond, such as reducing or suspending travel and face-to-face meetings as well as encouraging remote work. We are monitoring the situation closely and are continuously adapting to it.

Wherever possible, Primetals Technologies is actively approaching our business partners individually to align the most suitable way forward in the given circumstances. If you have not yet been contacted but would like to jointly develop strategies for handling this global pandemic event and its consequences together with us, we welcome any questions and information from your side regarding the effects of the pandemic on a specific part of the business. Please contact us at contactsymbolprimetalspunktcom or get in touch with your usual counterpart in the organization of Primetals Technologies.

60 years of experience in the industry, with all its ups and downs, have taught us that hard work and a can-do attitude will weather any crisis. Today we have no reason to believe that this time will be any different.

Sincerely,

The team at Primetals Technologies
