In the context of a global pandemic, the Group follows the epidemiological rules in the home country, ensuring compliance with the relevant norms. The manufacturing facility of SAF Tehnika continued to operate in its normal/rearranged mode, the company manufactured and shipped its products worldwide. At the manufacturing facility, the work is organized in such a way as to minimize physical proximity (by working remotely or rearranging workplaces), paying special attention to ventilation and air quality.

The Group’s operations are also affected by the global shortage of various electronic components. By regularly reviewing delivery volumes and deadlines, the company continues to accumulate material reserves in order to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. This applies to all SAF product families – microwave links, Spectrum Compact and Aranet.

The Group continues to explore market demand and problematic issues in order to be able to provide necessary product modifications, as well as continues investments in product development. The goal of the Company is to stabilize sales levels to ensure a positive net result in the long term.
