After an employee tested positive for Covid-19, large-format printer manufacturer Durst Phototechnik AG has shut down R&D and manufacturing facilities at its headquarters in Brixen, Italy for at least two weeks. But the company announces that all its branches are active. The company confirmed last week that a staff member had tested positive to the novel coronavirus Covid-19 but said at the time that the employee in question has not been at the company for 13 days and has had only very limited contact with other employees. Durst took the issue very seriously from the very beginning, and they continue to do so.
The company provides all help and measures wherever they can for their employees – for example, with masks and protective suits for the hospital in Brixen, which, like many institutions, is currently struggling with a lack of resources. Durst has more than 500 employees worldwide. Its corporate management, research and development departments, production, marketing, sales, logistics and services are all located at its headquarters in Brixen, South Tyrol, Italy.
