Introduction
2020 has not quite been the year any of us expected. The global pandemic has had - and in fact continues to have - far reaching effects on every part of our lives. As we go to print with this edition of the KAESER report, stage 4 restrictions remain in place for metropolitan Melbourne. With our head office in Dandenong - like the majority of other businesses based in the metro area - this has massively impacted how we do business. Nevertheless, with many staff working remotely and a skeleton staff in our warehouse, our head office is still operating to support essential business in Victoria and support our customers nationally and in New Zealand.

Locally, the pandemic has led us to develop a number of initiatives - We hope you enjoy this edition! which include Contactless Service - to ensure that compressed air users can continue to operate reliable and efficient compressed air systems. You can learn more about these new initiatives on page 15. In this edition of the KAESER report we also share some case studies with you, that not only show the diversity of compressed air uses, but how in each case we are assisting our customers in reliably and efficiently meeting their compressed air requirements. Turn to page 4 to start reading them. Looking ahead, once restrictions begin to ease in Melbourne we anticipate work will finally be able to commence on the construction of a brand new factory at our Australian head office. This project should have started earlier this year but it has unfortunately been delayed due to COVID-19.
