Arctic Company, the leader of the Romanian home appliance market, supports the fight against the crisis generated by Coronavirus and donates 50 washers and dryers and 25 refrigerators to hospitals in Romania and to first line medical staff.

One of the situations faced by the medical personnel in the country is the cleaning of the medical uniforms in safe conditions, without this becoming a source of infection for them and their families. The washers and dryers and the refrigerators offered by the Arctic company will go to the Romanian Red Cross, who will distribute them to hospitals in Bucharest and in the country, helping doctors protect themselves against Coronavirus epidemic.

The transport of the products to the Romanian Red Cross was made in complete safety conditions, using hygienic cars, from the company's own fleet, and the drivers who operated these transports were equipped with gloves and protective masks during this time.

Being a major player in the home appliance market, Arctic Company is actively involved in the communities in which it operates. The solidarity and the responsibility for the safety of the employees, partners, clients and all the members of the community are one of the company’s top priority. Arctic Company is following the official recommendations made by the Romanian local health authorities and is adapting constantly required changes to its internal policies and actions plans through the Crisis Management team.
