Aid for earthquake relief in Japan
H&R ChemPharm – world leaders in cable filling
compounds and dielectric fluids
German machinery manufacturer
Niehoff has donated six million yen –
around $75,000 – in humanitarian aid
for victims of the earthquake which
struck Japan in March this year.
The Niehoff workforce, senior management
team and shareholders are committed
to actively helping people in Japan by
providing financial assistance. The
donation was passed on to the Japanese
Red Cross in the hope that the aid will
improve the situation of at least some of
the people affected.
Niehoff has very strong ties with Japan.
The company opened a sales office there
in 1991 (Nippon Niehoff Co Ltd), and it
has developed a very close relationship
with Japanese customers over the years.
Niehoff immediately contacted its staff
in Japan as soon as media reports on
the catastrophe began coming through.
Niehoff, headquartered in Schwabach,
Germany, develops and produces
machinery and production systems for
cable and wire manufacturers in more
than 100 countries. Founded in 1951,
the company currently has around 700
employees.
The company also undertakes test runs
of the machines before shipment, as
well as installation and commissioning
at the customers’ plant. Training for
operators is also available.
