Goederen met een waarde van meer dan 100.000 euro die worden uitgedeeld aan mensen in nood die in Beieren wonen. CEO van TREKSTOR vraagt andere bedrijven ook actief te worden.

BENSHEIM, Duitsland – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Vandaag heeft TREKSTOR GmbH, de fabrikant achter de blnk-gezondheidsproducten, de levering van 100.000 FFP2-klasse ademhalingsmaskers aan Tafel Deutschland voltooid. Dit is een reactie op de toegenomen vraag naar gecertificeerde PBM-producten, gecreëerd door zowel beslissingen van de federale overheid als het FFP2-mandaat dat actief is in de deelstaat Beieren.

“Als Duits bedrijf, dat vandaag voornamelijk bestaat door de verkoop van instap-pc’s en tablets aan prijsgevoelige klanten in het verleden, zijn we ons bewust van onze verantwoordelijkheid jegens onze medeburgers”, legt Shimon Szmigiel, CEO van TREKSTOR, uit . “Velen van hen lopen achter op het financiële vermogen om beschermingsmiddelen van hoge kwaliteit aan te schaffen, een toestand die wordt verergerd door ontslagen en werktijdverkorting.”

Daarom besloot TREKSTOR op korte termijn om 50.000 verpakkingen te doneren met 2 stuks van zijn eigen blnk-merkmodel BL-03N FFP2-beademingsapparatuur, die normaal gesproken worden verkocht aan de overheid, het ziekenhuis en zorginstellingen. Zoals alle FFP2-ademhalingstoestellen, filtert het ≥94% van de deeltjes, in de COVID-19 relevante vergelijking met NaCL presteerden de maskers zelfs boven de 99% -markering.

„As a German company, which mainly exists today due to the sales of entry-level PCs and tablets to price-sensitive customers in the past, we are aware of our responsibility to our fellow citizens“, Shimon Szmigiel, CEO of TREKSTOR, explains. „Many of them are lagging the financial prowess to purchase high quality protective equipment, a state that is worsened by lay-offs and short-time work arrangements.”

Therefore, TREKSTOR decided on short notice to donate 50.000 packs containing 2 pcs of its own blnk brand model BL-03N FFP2 respirators, which are normally sold to government, hospital and care facilities. As do all FFP2 respirators, it filters ≥94% of particles, in the COVID-19 relevant comparison with NaCL, the masks even performed above the 99% mark.

„The selection of Tafel Deutschland as our partner was very easy“, adds Shimon Szmigiel. This is due to existing infrastructure and experience when it comes to distributing food, which makes the Tafel to a unique distribution network. Based on the agreement, the respirators were delivery to a central warehouse in Nurnberg and will from there be distributed to the 168 locations in Bavaria according to demand.

Jochen Brühl, Chairman of Tafel Deutschland: „We are delighted for this wonderful support. People in poverty are especially affected by this crisis. As important as the mask mandate is, it is a financial burden for poor people. Around 1.6 million people rely on our food banks, among them 430.000 retirees and up to 500.000 children and youths. The donation by TREKSTOR helps them to protect themselves while also relieving some of the financial pressure. For that, we are very thankful.“

TREKSTOR is aware, that this donation is literally only a drop in the ocean, which is why Shimon Szmigiel appeals to all other businesses: “If you are active in the same areas we are – or if you are not, take heart, temporarily forget about profit, and do something good.”
