WEG has reinforced its safety policy in line with the advancement of COVID-19. With branches in 36 countries and manufacturing plants in 12 countries, WEG's production is experiencing increased demand from the food and beverage, energy and infrastructure sectors. WEG's new policy will protect its workforce, while ensuring continued supply to essential market segments.

By prioritising the supply of power equipment to hospitals, health centres, pharmacies and supermarkets, WEG's strategy will ensure sectors considered essential do not experience supply chain glitches. WEG's products will serve a vital role in providing power during this time of crisis.
