Winterbach, Germany - June 15, 2023 -

Pfisterer, a leading provider of energy infrastructure solutions, has made a substantial product donation to Ukraine. This initiative is part of Pfisterer's commitment to provide rapid assistance in rebuilding, repairing and strengthening the power grid in Ukraine. The donation was made possible in cooperation with Service Desk Ukraine, an initiative of the Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations, as well as Blau-Gelbes Kreuz e.V. and the Energy Community Secretariat.

Due to the extensive damage to the energy infrastructure in many parts of Ukraine, many people are currently without electricity. Pfisterer would like to make a contribution with the product donation to support the reconstruction and repair of the power grid. The products provided include a range of proven solutions for contacting, connecting and tapping electrical conductors, which are used at the sensitive interfaces of power grids and are crucial for reliable transmission and distribution of electrical energy.

Fast help where it's needed
"We all know how important electricity is in our everyday lives. Immediately after Ukraine's power grid was targeted, we knew we had to help," says Dr. Konstantin Kurfiss, a member of Pfisterer's Management Board. "We are experts in connection technology for electrical conductors and our products are characterized by fast assembly, ease of use and reliability. This is exactly what is needed in Ukraine at the moment. We are very pleased that we can contribute with our donation to keep electricity flowing locally."

The relief supplies are currently on their way to Ukraine. The cooperation with the Service Desk Ukraine, Blau-Gelbes Kreuz e.V. and the Energy Community Secretariat was crucial for the implementation of this donation. "From idea to implementation, there was a lot of work to be done, despite having such an obvious match," says Director Corporate Projects, Santiago Casado. "We would like to express our special thanks to all the partners and the project team who were instrumental in making this campaign a success." Alina Frolova, former Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine, is delighted: "It is hard to imagine daily life without electricity. We are very happy about Pfisterer's donation, which will help many local people. The company's commitment and passion to support are great!"
