Fire Brigade Call Outs Even During Working Hours

PALFINGER has always worked closely with local emergency services such as the volunteer fire brigade. Several hundred employees work as volunteers for the volunteer fire brigade. In order to give the best support for their commitment, PALFINGER releases its employees from working hours if they need to perform fire brigade operations. The same ruling applies to employees who are active in the ambulance service and mountain rescue teams.

"As a global company, we at PALFINGER are proud of our strong regional roots, reflected strongly in the commitment of our employees to the volunteer fire brigade. That is why we are very pleased to receive two awards as a fire brigade friendly employer. We will continue to actively support our numerous firefighting crew members at PALFINGER in the future," emphasizes Andreas Klauser, CEO of PALFINGER AG.

The award was presented in the Vienna Hofburg on March 22 by Federal Council President Christine Schwarz-Fuchs, Minister of Labor Martin Kocher and Fire Brigade President Albert Kern in the presence of several Regional Fire Brigade Commanders.
