Lambertsson delivers to Ukraine – sheds become field hospitals at the front!

Lambertsson has started a collaboration with the organization HUG (Help Ukraine Gothenburg). In a first stage, the company has sent 28 sheds and a larger number of electric tools and electric cabinets as aid to Ukraine.

- The collaboration with HUG is completely in line with our core values ​​within Lambertsson, says CEO Carl Rülcker. I notice that this is appreciated by our employees and strengthens the community within the company. The equipment we send to Ukraine is one that has a long service life left, but where certain updates are required so that it can continue to be used in Sweden.

So far, the big contribution from Lambertsson has been sheds. All have been deployed along the front line, including in Kharkiv. There they are converted into field hospitals, field kitchens or simply a space where lightly injured soldiers can rest and recuperate for a few days. The stalls have been very popular and the demand for more units is high.

- We have done this as an experiment, without promises of continued support, says Carl Rülcker. However, since the reception has been so successful and appreciated, we have decided to increase our commitment to Ukraine. More sheds will soon be ready for transport, and it will also be relevant with other equipment.

The coordinator for HUG's transport to Ukraine is Kateryna Aleksandrova. She works everyday with logistics at the Danish company Maersk, but lives in Tjörn outside Gothenburg. She confirms that the help from Lambertsson is needed.

- The Ukrainian demand for this type of equipment is huge, she says. At the same time, we see a slowdown in interest in donating to Ukraine. Therefore, it is worth its weight in gold for us when large companies stand up and perhaps even show the way for others.

The next transport from Lambertsson to Ukraine will take place at the beginning of October, when it will mainly involve more sheds and various electrical equipment to secure the electricity network for the winter.

- The need is unfortunately great, says Carl Rülcker. Not least before the upcoming winter, which risks being difficult if large parts of the electricity grid are knocked out.
