It is our responsibility to be there when partners and customers need us most. Especially in difficult times like these, we stand by our partners and customers and support them. It is important to us to continue offering direct service. Because we are all in the same situation. And together we can cope best with it. 

It is the same issue that concerns us all. We don't have an answer for everything, but we have solutions for many things. That is why we have gathered our customers most common questions and prepared some answers for you.

All branches are now closed to visits, we have reduced the number of employees in our offices to an absolute minimum. We remain open for business with all staff working effectively remotely. You are still able to call or email us as usual. 

The protection and safety of our employees, customers and partners has top priority. We have taken extensive precautions to slow down the spread of the virus and protect everyone in the best possible way. In doing so, we are guided by the recommendations of the relevant authorities, such as the WHO, the Robert Koch Institute and the country-specific ministries and health authorities.

This starts with simple but important hygiene measures. These, of course, include more stringent information and notices on regular hand washing and the installation of disinfectant dispensers at our locations. 

Furthermore, our employees are able to work digitally and mobile from home. Currently about 80% of all employees worldwide are working remotely from home. International travel is prohibited, even within a country employees are only allowed to work at one GRENKE location. All trade fairs, conferences and trainings have been cancelled until further notice.
