With COVID-19 emerging and evolving as it does, our immediate priority is for CurTec to take all necessary steps to protect its people, which currently include:

• Asking all employees to work from home except when presence is strictly necessary (such as in production)
• Obliging all employees to wear a face mask
• Asking all employees to maintain a physical distance of 1.5 meters*
• Enforcing strict hand hygiene
• Asking employees with COVID-19 symptoms to stay home and consult their doctor
• Obliging employees that have travelled to a country or area where an orange or red travel advisory applies for health reasons to self-quarantine for 10 days and carefully monitor their health
• Obliging employees that live in a country or area where an orange or red travel advisory applies to work from home
• Restricting visits to the office and plant to a minimum, except when strictly necessary
• Postponing non-essential activities

*In cases where maintaining a physical distance is impossible due to working conditions, personal protecting such as a face masks/shields, gloves and disinfectants are provided.

CurTec’s care leave program provides tailor made solutions for employees who need to take care of  children or other family members.

Our customers

Furthermore, CurTec is taking vital steps to keep production and supply up and running and maintain the highest level of product quality. These steps currently include:
