COVID-19 and Kollmorgen

Kollmorgen and its parent, Altra Industrial Motion Corporation, are proud to be supporting many customers and partners in the global fight against COVID-19. Our motion solutions enable critical medical applications and other services essential to the continued functioning of society in these unprecedented times. This video showcases just a few of the areas where we’re making a difference.

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation continues to evolve and impact every aspect of our lives, we’re writing with a second update on Kollmorgen’s response.

Kollmorgen is proud to be playing a critical role in the global fight against COVID-19, working closely with so many of our customers and partners. Our global production facilities are fully operational, despite the growing number of government bodies announcing shelter in place declarations.

Kollmorgen motion solutions are enabling essential equipment manufacturers around the world to respond to the need for respirators and other personal protective equipment, test kits, diagnostic machines, ventilators, blood-gas analyzers, blood pumps, CT scanning equipment, and more. All of these products are essential to the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and its complications. Beyond healthcare, many other Kollmorgen partners that provide essential services – from aerospace and defense, to food production and packaging, automated warehousing of critical household supplies, and energy and communications, to name a few -- depend on a reliable supply of our components.

Our design teams and manufacturing facilities are responding with urgency to dozens of requests to accelerate design cycles, increase production, and speed delivery for the motion systems that directly fight COVID-19 and keep essential services continuing for people who need them the most.

As we help our partners defeat this pandemic and provide for essential needs around the world, our number-one priority remains the well-being of our employees and their loved ones. We’re scrupulously following best-practice safety recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), national health organizations, and other local government agencies.

Our corporate vision is Enabling Innovators to Make the World a Better Place. That’s what we’re doing during these challenging times, and we appreciate your partnership now more than ever.
