Rehau returns
2nd June 2020

Rehau today announced that it has begun a phased return to work at its Blaenau Ffestiniog profile extrusion site after ceasing production at the end of March.

Chief Executive Martin Hitchin said: “This decision was taken after extensive consultation between the UK management team, health and safety experts and our employees - and only after a full risk assessment and ‘return-to-work’ plan was devised and implemented.

“Our overriding priority is the safety of everyone on the site. We believe, with our Safe Site plan in place, it will be safe to begin a phased return-to-work, but we intend to closely monitor the health and well-being of our employees during this process.”

The company is providing a return-to-work policy for every employee along with a Safe Site working booklet. In addition, employees are being advised not to car share to work.

Mr Hitchin concluded: “We’ve had a very good response to our plans from customers, suppliers and, most importantly, employees who are, in the main, keen to get back to work and resume their normal working lives.”
