»The fate of the people in need after the devastating floods affects us deeply. Our thoughts and sympathy go out to those who have lost loved ones or their livelihoods, who are standing in front of the debris of their houses and devastated cities. The terrible images do not let go of us either. We would like to make a contribution and support those affected in the flooded areas. The equipment financed with the donation sum is intended to help repair the immense material damage«, says Dirk Bode, CEO of fme AG.

The consequences of the catastrophe are shocking: More than 180 people died as a result of the floods, which at times brought down more than 150 liters of rain per square meter. Houses collapsed, roads and cars were swept away, railroad tracks were washed out, warehouses and production facilities were shut down, and infrastructure was destroyed. Two weeks after the flood, thousands of people are still without electricity, drinking water and gas. In addition, there is a threat of epidemics.

»Our respect and thanks go to the many helpers on site!« adds Bode, continuing, »Appropriate equipment will certainly be of great use to them in their tireless efforts. We hope that the nationwide willingness to help and solidarity will give encouragement and hope to those affected.«
