Review of a slightly different year
Again, another year is over. And even though it went by as quickly as ever, 2020 was a year that we will all remember forever - but not necessarily in a positive way. Two lockdowns due to Covid 19 and 12 months of restrictions have left their marks worldwide, many have lost family members or friends, countless have lost their businesses. This year has pushed many to their limits and called into question everything we take for granted. But it has also taught us to appreciate the little things and to take more care of ourselves - our family, our health and our surroundings. Again, another year is over.

Nevertheless, the Krah Group can look back on a lot of positive things this year as well. We have had enough orders to keep our staff busy despite the lockdowns and have even hired new staff to support them. The development of our virtual assembly was a huge step for us, which has contributed a great deal to the fact that we can now go into winter break with a satisfactory financial year. Many companies have buried their heads in the sand and let work rest, but we have used this pandemic to develop further and are now well prepared for the future with our new system. We have set up and commissioned several machines in 2020 without actually being on site. With the help of virtual assistance, we were able to coordinate and successfully carry out the assembly from here. What seemed unthinkable a few months ago, has now convinced us in such a short time that we will continue to use this installation option in the future. At this point, I would like to express my sincere thanks once again to our customers who have accepted this new type of installation and have thus placed their complete trust in us. They have all been rewarded with a good result, which is something to be proud of. Currently, the last machine of 2020 will be installed in the US. When it has been successfully commissioned and the first pipe has been produced, I can end this year satisfied as well and concentrate on the following year. Because we have already planned exciting projects for 2021, which we will tackle with new motivation in January.
I wish you all a peaceful Christmas with your loved ones, even though this time it will be very different from usual. Especially for those who have been hit hard by the pandemic, I wish you a lot of strength and perseverance to get through this and start a better 2021 with new motivation. We should all look forward positively and remember what we have already achieved. Don’t let it get you down!
Merry Christmas, Alexander Krah
