“In view of current developments regarding the coronavirus, Arburg management decided on February 26 to cancel the International Technology Days from March 11 to 14, 2020, in Lossburg”. This is the beginning of the press release with which the German manufacturer announces that the technological event organized annually at its headquarters in Germany and scheduled within few days will not take place.

 

Arburg, the press release continues, takes the developments regarding the coronavirus very seriously. The responsible parties at the company have followed the situation over the past few days with great concern and analysed it intensively. This is because the health of customers partners and employees has the highest priority at Arburg. On the basis of the information currently available, the decision was made not to take any risks.

 

Cancellation of the Technology Days, attended every year by around 6,000 invited guests from all over the world, is purely preventative. The opening of the Training Center on March 6th, 2020, with VIP guests from the region, will take place as planned.
