Global Industry: Solutions for the new reality become visible

Bremerhaven. (bm) Due to the known (Covid-19) circumstances, the publication of the quarterly reports has also been a little confused. Some are a bit too early, others minimally too late – with the result that we have fought our way through more than 50 reports this week and hope not to have forgotten anything important. Of course, each report is important and unique – boring as it may seem sometimes at first sight. Seldom is the need for communication as great as it was respective is this summer 2020 – where figures are not only explained in retrospect, but initial approaches to solutions and innovations become visible, showing how companies intend to deal with the »new reality« in future.
