"With support from local teams, the Asia Pacific supply chain pooled resources to source face masks," said Anders Maltesen, Asia Pacific Division head.
Around 100,000 face masks have been sourced by ASSA ABLOY's Asia Pacific division to assist the Swedish community in the fight against the coronavirus, the company announced.
“As a Swedish company with extensive business in China, we are very proud that we can provide support to the Swedish community during this difficult time,” said Nico Delvaux, president and CEO, ASSA ABLOY.
The Asia Pacific division now spearheads a task force to align urgent needs and requirements in areas currently fighting to contain coronavirus transmissions. Within 24 hours of setting up the special team, the 100,000 face masks were secured for the Swedish community.
“With support from local teams, including Malaysia and Australia, the Asia Pacific supply chain pooled resources to source face masks for our colleagues in China when they needed it the most,” said Anders Maltesen, executive VP and head of the Asia Pacific division. “It really brought us together. Our culture of collaboration intensified as offices shared local information about the virus, best practices, and face mask suppliers.”
“We’re very grateful to receive vital support from our Asia Pacific division during these uncertain times,” Delvaux added.
