The Company Hering will produce around 6,800 protective uniforms, including blouses and pants, to professionals of health that are acting in the fight against the new coronavirus.
The parts will be donated to health institutions in Santa Catarina, Goiás and Rio Grande do Norte, states where the company has production units and distribution centers.
Therefore, for this purpose, part of Hering's production capacity will be mobilized to manufacture these uniforms “in a conscious and cautious manner”.
The company also informed that employees who work in this production follow with guidance and constant monitoring.
Blumenau Hering
In Blumenau, the Santa Isabel, Santa Catarina and Santo Antônio hospitals have already received the parts.
Therefore, Hering is not the only textile company in the region that is mobilizing to help face the pandemic.
The productive sector, in general, has demonstrated its solidarity in what is possible, despite the freezing of a large part of economic activity.
From Pomerode, TZE announced the distribution of 1,500 masks made of tricoline and 100% cotton. The product does not prevent contamination or replace personal hygiene care. But it can be used as a means of prevention, the company said. The masks were sent to nursing homes and health centers.
Lunelli, from Guaramirim, but which has a unit in Luiz Alves, also reported that it produced 30,000 fabric masks that were sent for donation.
Therefore, after years of its growth, Hering also experienced some problems. Because it was so concerned with growing and opening new stores that it forgot to monitor the results. Thus going through times of great drop in sales, being necessary to pay part of the franchisees out of pocket. The Company that was worth 8 million on the stock exchange was now worth only 2 million. It was a company that grew too much and got lost along the way.
