As a provider of first aid and emergency medical material, it is a matter of course for W.Söhngen GmbH that we donate urgently needed relief supplies in the current situation in Ukraine and on the escape routes.

RELIEF SUPPLIES FOR UKRAINE

The images of the devastating storms in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate on July 14, 2021 deeply shook us. When the full extent of the catastrophe became clear in the following days, it was therefore quickly clear to us that we wanted to support the residents of the region and the countless relief workers with what we do best: First aid products. After all, the risk of injury during the cleanup work is high in view of the huge mountains of rubble and destroyed houses. On 27.07.2021, large quantities of dressing materials in the form of compresses, bandages, plasters and other material for wound care left our warehouse in Taunusstein by SÖHNGEN® truck for Ahrweiler. There, the relief supplies were handed over to the German Red Cross Sinzig e.V. local association.

Donation for flood disaster

During the night of February 20 to 21, an emergency backpack worth €2,200 was stolen from an ambulance at the rescue station in Hohenstein-Breithardt. Through a Facebook post by the Hohenstein mayor, Daniel Bauer, employees of W.Söhngen GmbH from Taunusstein quickly became aware of the brazen theft.

As of 01.11.2021, the new specifications of DIN 13157 and DIN 13169 (small and large first-aid kits and first-aid kits for companies) apply. In the future, both fills will contain even more dressing materials for minor injuries in the workplace. This should ensure even better wound care.

On February 22, 2023, W.Söhngen GmbH donated notable amounts of emergency medical supplies and first aid items. The recipient of the donation is the Turkish community in Hesse, which has set up a depot in a warehouse on the grounds of Industriepark Höchst. Here, the countless donations are viewed, sorted and from there transported to Frankfurt am Main Airport. The goods are flown directly to the affected earthquake areas in Turkey via cargo planes. Atila Karabörklü, Chairman of the Turkish community in Hesse, says: “We would like to thank SÖHNGEN® for this generous Donation, which helps us and especially the helpers and those affected. We are very happy to be able to distribute such a generous donation. We need all help!”
In the Turkish earthquake region, many localities are no longer habitable and currently around 1,5 million people are homeless. There is still chaos and even the basic necessities are needed to survive. The scale is unimaginable.
“Each major loss event is tragic, but we are particularly upset about this one with its serious and long-term consequences. With our donation we want to support basic health care in the impacted regions of Turkey” says Christoph Hirschmann, managing director of W.Söhngen GmbH.
Therefore, the donations include working material for the medical staff on site as well es many SIRIUS® rescue blankets for protection against cold and moisture.

SOS-Kinderdorf_02 Kopie

The launch of our new first aid kit series &#8220;kleine GROSSE Hilfe&#8221; (“little BIG help”) was a complete success. We presented the cases for the first time at didacta in May 2022 and the feedback on site was consistently positive. The cheerfully printed, and child-designed cases are intended to make first aid as relaxed as possible for children and adults. The little users are just as enthusiastic as the educational staff.
We are all the more pleased about the popularity of our new series of cases because we have linked a donation of 5 euros to SOS-Kinderdorf e.V. with each case sold in 2022. Thus, at the beginning of February, we were able to hand over a donation of 1,500 euros to Mrs. Hartel-Teixeira, Coordinator/Fundraising SOS-Kinderdorf Frankfurt.
&#8220;With this contribution, we would like to support a regional project of our long-standing partner.&#8221; Said Christoph Hirschmann, managing director of W.Söhngen GmbH. &#8220;Mrs. Hartel-Teixeira reported to us that new pillows and comforters are urgently needed in the children&#8217;s and young people&#8217;s residential group in Hünstetten, as well as a new bed for a teenage resident.&#8221; Of course, a &#8220;kleine GROSSE Hilfe&#8221; donated by us will also hang on the wall in Hünstetten in the future.

As a supplier of first aid and emergency medical supplies, it is a matter of course for W.Söhngen GmbH that we donate urgently needed relief supplies in the current situation in Ukraine and on the escape routes to donate urgently needed relief supplies.
In cooperation with Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. we have started a large aid shipment to Ukraine on Wednesday, 24.03.2022, with which we want to support especially the medical staff in the war zone. The donation includes more than one ton of relief supplies such as fixation bandages, infusion accessories, disposable cannulas and syringes, and disposable protective gloves.
&#8220;We are glad to be able to make a contribution to support the relief workers in the crisis area. We thank the team of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V. Wiesbaden for their dedication and tireless commitment,&#8221; said Pascal Arnold, Marketing Manager.
Already at the beginning of the month, we donated further pallets with dressing materials, rescue blankets, disposable underwear, disposable gloves as well as emergency medical material for the supply of refugees to the Hungarian-Ukrainian border via our supplier for first aid kits.
Together with other local companies and under the patronage of the mayor of Taunusstein, Sandro Zehner, we sent three more pallets with wound compresses, dressing materials, gauze bandages, wound plasters, rescue blankets, pillows and quilts to the Polish-Ukrainian border. On site, some of the relief supplies were used directly to care for refugees, as well as being transported onward to Ukraine, depending on need. The unloaded vehicles were then used to transport refugees from the border to Taunusstein. For this purpose, we complied with the request of the city of Taunusstein for two dozen Euro pallets, which are now being used to build furniture for the initial reception. Our great thanks go to the many helpers who are tirelessly working for the people in need in Ukraine and at the borders!

The images of the devastating storms in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate on July 14, 2021 deeply shook us. When the full extent of the catastrophe became clear in the following days, it was therefore quickly clear to us that we wanted to support the residents of the region and the countless relief workers with what we do best: First aid products. After all, the risk of injury during the cleanup work is high in view of the huge mountains of rubble and destroyed houses. On 27.07.2021, large quantities of dressing materials in the form of compresses, bandages, plasters and other material for wound care left our warehouse in Taunusstein by SÖHNGEN® truck for Ahrweiler. There, the relief supplies were handed over to the German Red Cross Sinzig e.V. local association.
&nbsp;
&#8220;We wanted to deliver the goods to exactly where they are currently needed most urgently &#8211; and to do so quickly and centrally.&#8221; Says Project Manager Advertising and Communications Matthias Schirmer.
The situation on the ground is made even more difficult by the increased risk of Corona infection. That is why we have supplemented our aid delivery with important items such as FFP2 masks, Corona rapid tests and hand disinfection for the relief workers and the people in the emergency shelters.
&#8220;Many thanks to the company W.Söhngen GmbH for the generous donation. We will put the aids to a targeted use!&#8221;, say Marco Hengsberg and Judith Grobelny from the German Red Cross local association Sinzig e.V..
Our great thanks go to the tireless helpers on site, especially the German Red Cross local association Sinzig e.V.!

During the night of February 20 to 21, an emergency backpack worth €2,200 was stolen from an ambulance at the rescue station in Hohenstein-Breithardt. Through a Facebook post by the Hohenstein mayor, Daniel Bauer, employees of W.Söhngen GmbH from Taunusstein quickly became aware of the brazen theft. The company has been producing and selling products for first aid and emergency medicine, including emergency backpacks, for almost 100 years and knows about the enormous importance of such equipment. For Christoph Hirschmann, Managing Director of W.Söhngen GmbH, and his team, it is therefore immediately clear that they must support Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. in this situation. &#8220;We were all shocked by this news! Emergency medicine is, of course, exactly our field of expertise. There was no doubt about helping the neighboring community here as a Taunusstein company!&#8221;, says Christoph Hirschmann, Managing Director of W.Söhngen GmbH. Matthias Schirmer, Project Manager Advertising &amp; Communication, adds: &#8220;As a citizen of the community of Hohenstein, it is enormously important to me that safety is maintained in my own community! Not only for me, but also for all my neighbors. I heard the news with horror and of course immediately committed myself to support here.&#8221; On Thursday, 25.02.2021, Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. was therefore presented with a fully equipped PROFiL emergency backpack from SÖHNGEN® for emergency treatment. Ulf Weyer from Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e. V. and Mayor Daniel Bauer agree: &#8220;We are very grateful for the quick, unexpected help from SÖHNGEN®. However, it should never have happened in the first place that someone would steal something as important as an emergency backpack.&#8221;
