We have taken the decision to postpone our annual factory shutdown that was due to take place from Friday April 10th to Monday April 20th. Based on the information provided by the Government and what has been happening around the World, an annual shutdown at this time would not help our customers. Currently there is no planned date for the shutdown, in this period we usually carry out machine maintenance. We have assessed all our machinery are pleased to report that there are no issues to be resolved.
