“EKKI is committed to mobilise its networks and resources to save lives. International partnerships and network synergies are important not just in business but also in communities,” Arumugam said in a press release here.
“I express my personal appreciation to the German companies Viessmann and Hoffmann families for demonstrating responsibility in times of crisis and showing solidarity, generosity and living by their values,” the release quoted the Ms Kanishka as saying.
“The way we deal with the coronavirus crisis today will determine how we remember this time in the future hopefully with pride and the awareness of having achieved a new level of solidarity, Viessmann Group Co-CEO Max Viessmann said.
The Rs 30,000-crore (3 billion euro) Viessmann Group with headquarters in Germany is a leading provider of global climate solutions.
Together with India’s pumps and water technology conglomerate EKKI, the group has joined forces to donate the ventilators to India.
Additionally, EKKI would partner with its German JV partner HOMA Pumps, a world leader in waste water technology to supply PPEs, the release added.
