Dimexon extends support during COVID-19 crisis

The company is undertaking these initiatives in conjunction with various local governmental bodies and with its stakeholders in its diamond manufacturing hub in Coimbatore, all the while respecting the Indian Government's guidance to further restrict the spread of the virus.

First, the company is using its state-of-the-art Diamond manufacturing infrastructure at Coimbatore to provide meals to the local community and the under-privileged. After only 24 hours of coming up with the concept of using the company’s industrial kitchen for the purposes of the local community, the local management managed to fulfil the requisite food safety compliances swiftly – this would not have been possible without the support of the Department of Health, Revenue and the District Collector who fully supported this initiative. After completion of compliance formalities, the team have begun distributing 900 freshly cooked food packets on a daily basis, sufficient for both meals. The company have pledged their support towards providing the local community by serving at least 30,000 people with 12,000 kilos of daily freshly-cooked food, during the time of the lockdown in India. The company will monitor the situation closely and will possibly extend this support as long as it is needed, until there is stability in the local community.

Second, Dimexon’s In-House engineers at Coimbatore are putting their technical expertise to use by helping to design and manufacture low-cost and effective medical ventilators as well as other support devices which will then be distributed for usage to local hospitals and/or health institutions.

Dimexon remains committed to the local communities in which they operate and will continue in its best endeavours to aid wherever and whenever possible to help fight COVID-19.
