// Safe and Secure

The battle against Covid-19 is a global effort. In the frontlines, we find doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers, and behind them, we all try to do our best to help. Swedish Getinge is a producer of innovative solutions for hospitals and intensive care units. Facing the rising demand due to this pandemic, they have significantly increased their production of respirators.

To make the increased production possible, Knightec formed a team and made it available to Getinge. The team quickly made itself useful helping Getinge secure necessary materials and electronic components for the increased production of respirators.

Johan Widman, Head of R&D på Getinge Critical Care says: ”Only days after our first meeting, the Knightec team was on-site and working effectively in close cooperation with our organization in Solna.”

The quick start-up was possible thanks to Knightecs expertise, well established and structured working method, several available specialists, and an agile approach to the task at hand.

”The production goals are aggressively set and it has been our job to support Getinge so that they can handle the expansion of respirator production. Everyone works hard, decision-making goes fast and we work cross-functional between business areas such as purchasing, production R&D, and more. It’s very exciting to be here, and the job feels very important in times like these”, says Josefin Eberg, a consultant at Knightec and team lead in the project.
