Resumption of PORSCHE production

All necessary measures have been taken in advance to guarantee the maximum possible safety for the employees and so that the production can be increased in stages until full capacity.
As production intensifies at the main plant in Zuffenhausen and at the Leipzig site, all employees will gradually resume their work.
The appropriate production, logistics and supply processes have been agreed with the works council and the health management department. The requirements of the respective authorities will also be observed.

“The restart is an important signal - both for our employees and for our customers.
We followed and analyzed the situation very carefully from the start and flexibly adapted the processes.
Now is the time to look to the future with optimism and get back to work - subject to special precautions, ”said Albrecht Reimold, member of the production and logistics management at Porsche AG.

A complete catalog of measures has been decided for the Porsche factories in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig.
In addition to giving paramount importance to the protection of employees, these measures are designed to allow the resumption of orderly and efficient production in the shortest possible time.
For example, production workers must maintain a minimum distance of 1.50 meters, follow basic rules of conduct or work with a face mask in defined areas.

Medical establishments and medical personnel have top priority for Porsche when it comes to equipping them with protective clothing.
The company therefore organizes equipment as part of the "Porsche aid" initiative and also donates money to hospitals as well as food to food banks; the budget for donations has been increased by five million euros.

And we want to make the most of it. The company initially stopped production at its two plants on March 21, 2020 for a period of two weeks and announced that it would continually reassess the situation. Due to bottlenecks in global supply chains, factories remained closed for a total of six weeks, as orderly production was not possible.

In addition to suspending production, Porsche also decided at the time to implement a number of other more stringent measures. These will remain in effect until further notice to ease the infrastructure burden on the sites: this means that the considerably increased level of "mobile work" will continue in the indirect areas, and the meetings will be held in the form of videoconferences or conference calls. The ban on business travel also continues to apply. n important signal - both for our employees and for our customers.
