The first "Glove-liner" lands tomorrow, Friday.
"We are pleased that we are able to contribute to a better management of the Corona crisis in Austria with our medical protective gloves and we are proud of our employees, who are making this possible even in this difficult situation with their tireless efforts close to their limits," says Dr. Martin Füllenbach, Chief Executive Officer of Semperit AG Holding.
