The coronavirus shutdown is an extreme situation for the entire economy and is hitting the CNC industry hard. Although there is huge uncertainty, we can be sure of one thing: falling into a state of shock is the most dangerous reaction to this acute situation and is therefore not an option. Instead, the best way to counteract the problem is with a mix of flexibility, optimism and solidarity. 

"Following this crisis, Europe will only be able to maintain its prosperity through innovation, new technologies and creative spirit," argues Professor Wolfgang Reitzle, chairman of the supervisory board at Continental AG and chairman of the board of directors at Linde plc.
