Dear partners and friends,

like so many people around the world, we write to you from the confinement of our homes.

While this novel situation brings along some discomforting uncertainty about the future, we are of course aware, that for the vast majority of us, the situation is by far not as difficult as it is for many other professionals.

We thank those in the areas of healthcare, first responders, security, but also other industries such as supermarket or postal service personnel who on a day to day basis put their life at risk to secure the continued basic functioning of our society.

On our side, we do what we can within the given situation and we wanted to share with you the current status of our company operations. At the moment, we are still fully operational.

The design, sales and administrative teams have all transitioned to working from home.

The manufacturing section, based in Germany, is still operating normally. We have been making most parts within the manufacture for years, thus we are less dependent on other suppliers.

The manufactures are equipped with a large variety of sophisticated machines, so that we are able to do a lot in house.

Parts that we do need to source externally have been sourced locally in the past, such that we are trying to secure stock from these trusted suppliers for the months to come.

We will continue our work with love and dedication and are grateful that we can work safely.

We welcome and appreciate every collaboration as always and especially in these difficult times.

Thank you,

Gwendolyn, Guillane and the entire ARETI team
