MUNICH
A German machine manufacturer Scheppach GmbH has assisted earthquake victims in Türkiye by sending over 1,368 generators to the affected areas in the country’s south.
The Turkish Consulate in Munich coordinated with the German company to send 12 diesel and 1,356 inverter generators, along with 160 large electric heaters, worth approximately €1 million from its warehouses in Germany.
Serdar Eraslan, the General Manager of Scheppach, said that as a Turk, he felt that it was his “duty” to help the earthquake victims in Türkiye.
He stated that the company wanted to support families and the elderly who have lost their belongings and provide access to electricity and heat for them.
Eraslan said it also took into consideration the needs of earthquake victims when sending generators to Türkiye, saying “In the inverter generators we send, sensitive products such as mobile phones and laptops can be charged”.
