Ersa Social Sponsoring
Ersa supports flagship project
In the spring of 2015, the first workshop for the handicapped in China was put into operation in the German small-firm centre at Taicang near Shanghai under the initiative of the European companies settled there. Based on the model of the German “Lebenshilfe” association, mentally handicapped people in China are also to be purposefully supported, occupied and integrated into society as a result of this institution. The opening of the workshop for the handicapped was also taken note of beyond the Chinese borders and even reached Germany – for example, Gerlinde Kretschmann, the wife of the Prime Minister of the State of Baden-Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, visited the workshop last autumn and gained a personal impression on site.
Production is done in the workshop at modern workplaces with modern production devices. Everything has been optimally adapted to the employees’ individual skills, with the result that components of the highest quality can result at the end. The current status is that about 250,000 mechanical and electrical components per month are produced by twelve workers and supplied to the local hi-tech industry.
In this context, the system supplier Ersa as the sponsor of an i-CON VARIO 2 multi-channel soldering and desoldering station combined with an EASY ARM 2 solder smoke-remover has made an important contribution to the production of cable packagings (amongst other things for the automotive industry). But something much more important – this kind of support contributes to employment and inclusion of people who are still a long way away from social acceptance in China. For a short time now, the workshop for the handicapped in Taicang has also been in possession of an Ersa soldering bath, which has found its new purpose under absolute special conditions. Good luck and great success for production in Taicang!
