According to the current instructions issued by the FOPH (Federal Office of Public Health) and the Federal Council on Monday 16 March 2020, we are allowed to continue operations.

We take the situation very seriously and do everything possible to protect our staff and their relatives from a possible infection and to keep the company going.

Due to the urgent situation, the management of August Manser AG has decided to implement the following measures in advance for an unlimited period of time.

Implementation from Thursday 19 March 2020.

• A couple of administration employees work from now on via home office
• Only absolutely essential customer and supplier visits are carried out
• Stricter hygiene measures were introduced at both locations and participation in internal and external events has been reduced to a minimum
• The necessary IT infrastructure for video and phone meetings to communicate with our business partners is provided.

With these measures we are pursuing the following objectives:

• Best possible implementation of the Federal Council's guidelines in the overall context of the firm and a contribution to the objectives of our society
• Maintaining the operational performance of August Manser AG and minimising the risk of a complete breakdown

You can reach us as usual from Monday to Friday during normal office hours.

The entire management team is permanently in contact and exchange, to asses the situation and be able to implement further measures if necessary.

We thank you for your understanding in this situation, which we are only able to successfully overcome together.
