How is 2020 going? In the Covid-19 epidemic, which affected the whole world, economic activities were also changed along with social life. How have your sales operations changed during this period?
Manufacturing during a pandemic has been a learning experience for us. Most suppliers and producers (both domestic and international) agree that demand across much of the industry ground to a halt in March and April led by the shutdown of factories. Beginning in May, that situation changed. Ordering began rising quickly in May. By June it had exploded. The rapid rise in retail orders puts enormous pressure on manufacturers and suppliers to reverse shutdowns and get up and running quickly. The global demand for bed products has also increased to a substantial extent. Nerteks Iplik has been running heavily during the whole year.
