Plexiglass orders are raining, as dividers will be placed in many businesses after the removal of the crown-imposed blockade. The plexiglass has already been placed in supermarket chains, but also in the courts and the national dealership, while even taxis are taking over.
As professionals prepare for the next day, after the gradual reduction of restrictive measures, more and more companies are tightening their health and safety measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The new reality has made Plexiglas an integral part for many professionals, and the importers and technicians who install it work tirelessly to catch up on order volume.
According to Giorgos Bellos, one of the importers of the material and owner of a wholesale company in Thessaloniki, sales have skyrocketed and warehouses have been emptied. “Every day we have more than one hundred orders of plexiglass that are given in dimensions of 2×3 meters. It is a situation that has already presented us with the problem of lack of material, since demand is greater than delivery,” says Mr Beautiful.
In the pre-Coronic era, he notes, an order would be received from two European countries in two weeks, and now the date for the next plexiglass order to arrive is late August to early September.
However, the phones have caught fire in all the companies that put Plexiglas on and customers are pushing for the structures to be installed immediately so they are ready when they return to the new rhythms, as Panagiotis Nakopoulos, secretary general of the Association of Glass, APE-MPE. and Yalelothes of Thessaloniki, who has been involved in the installation of Plexiglas since 1972.
“In the beginning, we had clients in pharmacies, medical and diagnostic centers, but now we have lawyers, accountants, shops, butchers and bakeries that will give bread on the counter,” he explains.
Increasingly, according to Mr. Nakopoulos, it is the taxi drivers who have already placed a divider between the front and rear seats, with a special opening, while there are several orders in closed spaces for the glass dividers to be “construction is more permanent. “
Indicative of the great interest is the fact, as Dimitris Rimpas, member of the Association, explains to APE-MPE, that clients now come from all professional fields. “Today,” he explains, “we have placed Plexiglas in beauty salons that have ordered special constructions with a separating crease, between employees and clients, who will only pass their hands when they do, eg nail care.”
There is also a lot of interest in restaurants. A few days ago, a restaurant in Halkidiki asked for special divisions from one table to another so that each company could eat isolated from its neighbors, according to Mr. Rimba.
