STILL supports those affected by the flood disaster

Support and solidarity are possible in many ways. This is demonstrated by the various aid campaigns carried out by the Hamburg-based intralogistics company STILL for those affected by the flood disaster in North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Bavaria. Among other things, the company and its employees are actively and reliably supporting the people in the flooded areas with personal aid missions and vehicle donations to the German Red Cross (DRK) on site.

Just a few days after the devastating floods in the west and south of Germany, STILL employees organised spontaneous help for suppliers in the region. For example, STILL electricians travelled to North Rhine-Westphalia without further ado. There, they lent a hand to a long-standing supplier, Falkenroth Umformtechnik GmbH, repairing the central production facilities with a great deal of expertise.

With success: thanks to their joint efforts, production was resumed in record time. “With this action, our employees not only showed great personal commitment, but also proved that they have their hearts in the right place and a good sense of partnership and solidarity,” says Frank Müller, Senior Vice President Brand Management / Sales & Service Steering STILL EMEA.

On-site logistics support

The company also provided valuable emergency aid: STILL made forklift trucks and other industrial trucks available to the German Red Cross in the disaster area at short notice. The powerful and robust trucks are a welcome support for the major logistical challenges on the ground. Another vehicle donation has just been made: in order to unload heavy and bulky loads from the trucks in a time and effort-saving manner, STILL supplied the DRK-Ortsverband Bad Neunahr-Ahrweiler e. V. with a powerful electric high-lift truck. “The volunteers in the flooded areas have been doing great – and often physically very strenuous – work under extremely challenging conditions for weeks. If we can help make this easier, more efficient and more ergonomic with our technology and our equipment, then we are more than happy to do so,” explains Frank Müller.
