“The demand for our nonwovens for respirator masks is unbroken – and has been for weeks. Despite around-the-clock production, seven days a week, we cannot accept new orders from manufacturers of respirator masks until June,” underlined Dr. Christian Heinrich Sandler, president and CEO of Sandler. “On the other hand, we are also aware of the still challenging situation in the health sector and therefore we decided last week to invest in a further production line for nonwovens for respirator masks at the Schwarzenbach site in Upper Franconia.”
German federal government intends to address the shortage of materials in Germany and Europe by promoting such investments. Federal minister of health Jens Spahn has been mediating with the manufacturers of production equipment.
With this capacity expansion, Sandler Group intends to contribute to counteracting the severe shortage of filter materials for respirator masks. “We will put all our commitment and dedication towards advancing the installation of the new production line, which is scheduled to commence in June,” said Sandler. He added that this schedule, however, could only be met if there are no additional restrictions in the coming weeks, for example pertaining to logistics.
