COVID-19 – business continuity for the group

March 31 update :

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and since March 17, the Lumibird group has adopted and rolled out a continuity plan.

This plan aims to guarantee the protection of its employees in order to enable our sites to continue operating, while respecting the measures introduced by the governments in various countries where the group is present. Our efforts have also focused on our suppliers and clients to enable them to ensure continuity for their activities as well.

To date, more than half of our workforce is still operational, working either remotely or on site. We are therefore still able to sell, manufacture and deliver several product lines.

Our IT systems (collaborative platforms, ERP, CRM..) allow our staff to ensure secure and efficient exchanges with you.

The entire Lumibird group is mobilized to protect everyone’s health and fight the spread of the virus, and will do everything possible to minimize the impact of this health situation on our collaborations.

We thank you for your understanding and your trust.
