A pandemic changes the world

Who would have thought this time last year that Corona would be with us for such a long time? For over a year now, we have been living with the virus, which was still unknown at the time. Our lives have changed dramatically and taken on dimensions that were unthinkable for all of us. The everyday life of our society has been significantly restricted until today.

Contact restrictions, closures of kindergartens and schools, shopping with prescribed numbers of people, cancellations of mass events, domestic quarantine – these are just a few measures taken to get the virus under control and keep the number of infected people as low as possible.

With all these regulations, we suddenly had to rethink: home office, video conferencing, virtual trade shows and classrooms. Digitalization has come a long way since the pandemic. Teams organize themselves via collaboration platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Slack. New forms of work have thus found their way, made their way into corporate structures and broken old patterns.

Defying Corona – better service for you

The unprecedented situation has allowed us to grow and has also presented us with new challenges. The top priority in all our decisions has always been to continue to provide you with excellent service and consistent quality.

Thus, in the first lockdown, we decided to change our usual work routines and work in shifts. Teams were divided into two groups in order to break possible chains of infection as well as to ensure the health of our workforce. 

Because we, Flex-Punkt Druckformen GmbH, are only as good as each individual employee. Due to the multi-shift work, the attendance time has doubled, thus we were also available for you longer and could further expand our service.

The ability to deliver comes first

We further upgraded our already high hygiene standards. Additional hand disinfection stations were set up throughout the Flex-Punkt Druckformen GmbH company. True to the motto “Together against Corona!” we also launched an internal Corona campaign.

Business trips were reduced to a minimum and customer appointments took place and still take place digitally for the most part. Here we have invested in innovations and equipped our conference room with the latest technology. At an even better level, it is now possible for us to still be there for you “in person” through online meetings and to provide advice and support.

With these measures we have done our part to prevent the spread of the virus. Because we are doing everything in our power to keep our promised delivery dates and thus guarantee you the safety in your internal production processes.

Learning in the pandemic: a different approach for consistently good quality

In the course of the second lockdown, we worked out an improved model and changed the newly gained workflows again. Here, we optimized everything in the course of achieving the best possible accessibility. Moving away from shift work, we decided to split up existing teams. To this day, the repro and layout offices are mixed among themselves to prevent the loss of an entire department in the event of illness or ordered quarantine. In this way, we continue to ensure the ability to deliver high-quality printing plates. In addition, your regular contact persons will again be available to you during our core working hours to the usual extent.
For you as our customers, nothing will change – we will always be there for you as your contact person on site and at the usual level.

We at Flex-Punkt Druckformen GmbH take the Corona pandemic very seriously and consider ourselves very well positioned and equipped with our measures and rules within the company.

On the road to success despite the pandemic for and thanks to you

When we look back on the last year, we do not only see the negative side of the pandemic. Despite the new circumstances and the resulting restrictions, we, Flex-Punkt Druckformen GmbH, can also take positive things from the last few months for ourselves. Despite all the circumstances, we were able to close the past year successfully and with great satisfaction! 

As you could already read in our last article, we started the construction of a new production hall and invested in further innovative technology! Offering you the best service and the highest possible quality of our printing formes drives us every day anew and has top priority. 
We stand by your side as a reliable partner, because it is only through and with you that we have grown and can continue to work successfully with you. Thank you!
