COMPANY SMART SOLUTIONS TECHNOLOGY NEWS CONTACT Social Beaz recognises Walter Pack’s solidarity during the pandemic Beaz recognizes Walter Pack's solidarity work during pandemic October 12, 2021 The pandemic caused by the Covid-19 disease has been a hard blow for society, but it has also shown the solidarity of some companies and groups to face the virus. One of these companies has been us, Walter Pack, one of the Basque industrial groups with more international projection. In the hardest months of the pandemic we got involved in the health fight through our subsidiary IDELT, donating 20,000 protective screens to hospitals and nursing homes in Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia. This movement showed, on the one hand, our great production capacity (8,000 screens per day) and, on the other hand, served as a great dissemination platform to make us known to companies and freelancers who later bought a large number of protective screens from us due to the high quality of the product. For this solidarity work, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, through the public company for business support Beaz, has awarded us, along with other companies, for having actively collaborated during the pandemic caused by the Sars-CoV-2 virus. “This award is a source of pride for Walter Pack and recognizes our values of innovation and solidarity to move towards a new business model and achieve fair and sustainable human development,” explains Marcos Fdz-Alonso, Commercial Director of IDELT. The recognition, baptized ‘Esker ON’, was awarded on Thursday, May 27, during the tenth anniversary of the Bizkaia Empresa 2021 meeting, which was attended by the Deputy General of Bizkaia, Unai Rementería, and the Provincial Deputy for Economic Promotion, Ainara Basurko, and which was held in virtual format from the BEC in Barakaldo. Opportunity for innovation Our contribution to the fight against Covid-19 disease opened the door to innovation and the creation of our own protective mask: the weetbe mask osaka. “A group of young IDELT workers came up with the first transparent mask in Spain. Without the means and experience accumulated in the production of protective screens, we would not have been able to make this product,” adds Fdz-Alonso. Currently, the mask is distributed through the young Basque start-up Weetbe, an example of intrapreneurship in the Basque Country. Weetbe mask osakais a safe, transparent, efficient, reusable, ergonomic, hypoallergenic, resistant and customizable mask, distributed in 35 countries around the world including Spain, the United States, Canada, Germany, France and Australia. “It was born with the aim of making life easier for the population, solving the problems of opaque masks and protecting the environment, since it offers the possibility of incorporating a motor to facilitate breathing, restores facial expression and, in addition, supports sustainability and reduces pollution,” concludes Fdz-Alonso.. Now separated from Walter Pack, Weetbe now seeks to become an innovative product design studio, with the same social values present in IDELT.
