"We have chosen to answer the Danish government's request to focus on providing clean water.
And we believe that the best way to support is by supplying the technology to which we can contribute to the reconstruction phase in the affected areas," says Danfoss President and CEO Jørgen M.
Clausen.
The three systems come from HOH Danmark, which uses Danfoss components in its systems.
The Fabrikant Mads Clausen Foundation has also decided to support all collections carried out at local Danfoss companies worldwide, and the Foundation doubles the funds raised.
The total support is expected to be close to DKK 2 million (approx.
269,000 euros).
Danfoss had already participated in the first hectic days of relief work.
The Danfoss company airplane was chartered as a hospital plane.
By 5 January the plane had made three flights between the disaster areas and the Nordic countries, with a medical team.
Air Alsie was in charge of the flights on behalf of SOS International.
In disaster situations, Danfoss always primarily focuses on helping the people who are affected and the local societies in which we do business.
In the current situation, Danfoss employees and home cities in Asia were spared of any direct impact.
But under circumstances in which world relief efforts must take place, Danfoss, as part of the "world society" participates actively in relief and reconstruction work.
