Background information
Autoliv Poland is a Sweden-US-based automotive supplier operating in Oława since 1998. The company provides automotive safety products, including airbags, seat belts and steering wheels. As the production of airbags at the Oława site has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the company decided to launch a production of masks for the local community.
Content of measure
Like the whole automotive industry, Autoliv has noted a drop in demand for its products. On 25 March 2020, the company launched a production of sanitary masks in one of its production halls in the Oława factory. The hall was appropriately equipped and the employees trained by the company. The masks were sewn by the employees of the company, and the raw material for the production was purchased by the local authorities; the masks were free of charge for the community. The source reports that the employees were very keen to be involved in the action. Autoliv planned to sew masks for medical staff in Oława too.
