As almost all other factories in China, AVK and Fusion’s Chinese factories were closed from mid-January to mid-February. During that time, orders did not stop coming in, even though machines were shut down, and employees, therefore, faced a large backlog on their first day back. Due to the employees’ hard work and determination, and with extra precautions put in place they were soon back in work with high spirits.
The health and wellbeing of the employees, partners and customers is the Company’s number one priority and now that employees are back in the factories working, a number of preventative measures to mitigate the virus from re-emerging are incorporated.

This means that factories, offices, canteen areas and shuttle buses are disinfected every single day, and everybody wears masks and gloves, washes hands and has their temperature checked twice a day. Furthermore, preventative measures during lunch time and transportation to and from work have also been taken, and on the first day back at work, the management team provided epidemic prevention training to everybody.
The company has augmented the business continuity plans with specific measures relating to COVID-19, to ensure that the quality and performance of the products and services will not be impacted. The Company is continuing to support essential utility infrastructure partners in the delivery of their programs throughout the challenging situation.
In a time where COVID-19 is setting the agenda, the Chinese employees have showed that there is a ray of hope and that it is indeed possible to get back to normality again.
