April 2, 2020 –
The COVID-19 virus has caused unprecedented supply chain and production delays on a global scale. More than ever localized, in-the-region, for-the-region production and identical manufacturing globally is critical to ensuring stability and supporting the modern world.
HARTING reassured its customers and global partners that the company has taken every precaution and continues to maintain global operations with its in the region for the region long standing strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is carefully monitoring the situation and adjusting to remain a reliable supplier of connectivity solutions worldwide.
At local levels, HARTING’s manufacturing processes are agile enough to support the constantly shifting priorities of local customers. In Germany, HARTING has aligned its internal processes to prioritize supplies to medical device manufacturers so they receive critical products as quickly as possible. In the US, HARTING has implemented precautionary measures to reduce the risk of spread so their production facility can continue supporting critical industries, such as Energy and Data Centers.
