On February 22, 2023, W.Söhngen GmbH donated notable amounts of emergency medical supplies and first aid items. The recipient of the donation is the Turkish community in Hesse, which has set up a depot in a warehouse on the grounds of Industriepark Höchst. Here, the countless donations are viewed, sorted and from there transported to Frankfurt am Main Airport. The goods are flown directly to the affected earthquake areas in Turkey via cargo planes. Atila Karabörklü, Chairman of the Turkish community in Hesse, says: “We would like to thank SÖHNGEN® for this generous Donation, which helps us and especially the helpers and those affected. We are very happy to be able to distribute such a generous donation. We need all help!”

In the Turkish earthquake region, many localities are no longer habitable and currently around 1,5 million people are homeless. There is still chaos and even the basic necessities are needed to survive. The scale is unimaginable.

“Each major loss event is tragic, but we are particularly upset about this one with its serious and long-term consequences. With our donation we want to support basic health care in the impacted regions of Turkey” says Christoph Hirschmann, managing director of W.Söhngen GmbH.

Therefore, the donations include working material for the medical staff on site as well es many SIRIUS® rescue blankets for protection against cold and moisture.
