The Corona crisis is also hitting small manufacturing companies hard, so that the prospective managing directors Martin and Christian Launhardt looked for opportunities to continue to employ employees when orders were collapsing and at the same time to be able to provide support during the Corona Pandemic. For this reason, the Launhardt brothers reacted quickly and switched production to the manufacture of nose clips for face masks, see picture. With this conversion and the quick reaction, the Launhardt company managed to cushion the falling orders, to be able to continue to employ the employees and also to open up an additional business area.

Since the conversion of production to the manufacture of nose clips has helped the Launhardt company in Zülpich through the difficult time of the corona crisis, the Launhardt brothers would also like to help and support the region. For this reason, Launhardt donates in cooperation with a good customer from the mask production (https://bicalla.de/cms/masken/) the local food banks in Zülpich, Euskirchen and Frechen 500 mouth and nose masks with a material value of around €2,500. These Bicalla masks are manufactured by Launhardt GmbH with the plastic-coated nose clip.
