Taking into account the exceptional circumstances and as per Chinese Authorities request, our factories will extend vacation closure by an extra week, from February 3rd to February 10th. Our Wuhan factory will remain closed until new notice from Authorities.

For offices, reopening is forecasted on February 3rd with remote home working for most employees until February 10th.

In addition, Groupe SEB issued a travel ban since last week to China and from China and has currently no expatriates nor employees travelling to China. SUPOR, in China, has established an employee caring and health status reporting system.
