Quarantine room

Our quarantine room serves to protect our stocks from the spread of damage. It is used to temporarily store newly received materials or objects with a potential suspicion of mold, insect infestation or other contamination in isolation.

During the quarantine period, the affected materials are examined, cleaned and, if necessary, decontaminated before being transferred to the regular stock. This process not only preserves the stock, but also protects employees and users from health risks.
