Imperial rises to the challenge
Imperial now supports chemicals manufacturer Schirm in the storage and distribution of urgent hand sanitiser supplies destined for local authorities and healthcare workers. The company successfully set up all operations within 24 hours of the initial request.
The hand sanitiser – a Class 3 hazardous material - is shipped from two Schirm production sites to a local authority in Hamburg, to the state procurement body’s regional distribution facilities and directly to hospitals.
The provider’s Wolfenbüttel hazmat facility performed 40 deliveries totalling 616,000 litres of sanitiser within the first 14 days; around half of these drops were carried out outside normal business hours. Imperial’s Schönebeck hazmat facility stored 600 pallets of the disinfectant during the first week of operations. (mw)
