Some three million Freudenberg masks have been donated to organizations around the globe – with a further one million planned. The masks are sent from Kaiserslautern, Germany, to Freudenberg facilities in 15 countries: Alongside Germany, these countries include the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, Spain, Romania, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Turkey and Greece. The recipients are schools, student unions, senior citizens’ homes, voluntary fire departments and many other charitable organizations – particularly in socially disadvantaged regions. “We’re making sure that charitable organizations and their partners can meet the demand for masks, and that, for the first time, as many people as possible have the opportunity to protect themselves and others from the virus with high-quality masks,” says Hanno D. Wentzler, CEO of Freudenberg Chemicals Specialities and responsible for the Corona donation campaign. On behalf of many people in need, Alessandra Bispo from Campinas in Spain, talks about how important the help is: “In times of a pandemic, reduced income and fear, knowing that we can rely on help gives us hope that we can still count on peoples’ solidarity in this world.”
