Clark Family organizes transport of baby food
Humanitarian aid set up for Ukrainian families
In a joint aid campaign, Clark Material Handling International, Korea, Clark Material Handling Company, USA, and Clark Europe, Germany, are donating baby food worth a total of 100,000 euros to Ukraine.
This donation campaign was organized by the Korean parent company YoungAn and the Clark European headquarters in Duisburg. With this donation in kind, the Clark Family wants to ensure that the aid is not only available quickly on site, but also reaches where it is most urgently needed.
Clark Europe organized the compilation of the relief supplies and the organization of the transport in cooperation with Rullko Großeinkauf GmbH & Co KG, a wholesaler and food supplier for communal catering and gastronomy based in Hamm. On June 23, 2022, a truck with a total of 33 pallets of baby food - around 42,650 items - made its way from Hamm to Slovakia. From there, the food was transported to Ukraine.
To ensure that this went smoothly, the Korean YoungAN established contact with the National Olympic Committee (NOC). The Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee, in cooperation with Malteser Hilfswerk, ensured the distribution of relief supplies to the affected families in Ukraine.
Rolf Eiten, President & CEO Clark Europe: "The ongoing war in Ukraine is causing unspeakable suffering for the local population. We at Clark are very happy to be able to make a contribution to supporting Ukrainian families with our food donation. Nevertheless, we would like nothing more than for the war in Ukraine to stop as quickly as possible."
