Movecat has been supporting social institutions in the Nufringen region for many years and is constantly making donations. This year the company, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-tech equipment for the stage, is providing an equipment upgrade for the first aid team of the newly established German Red Cross station in Nufringen.
In 2017, it was the Red Cross station in the neighbouring town of Gärtringen that benefited from the company’s generosity, the donation in that case being for the provision of key accessories for defibrillators. The donation made in 2018 will make it possible for the Red Cross in Nufringen, where the company itself is based, to acquire an AED. The letters AED stand for ‚automatic external defibrillator‘, a device which, in view of its design and way of operation, is particularly suitable for the provision of first aid when, for example, the nearest ambulance and emergency doctor are still some way off, but prompt action by a well-trained first-aid team, such as that of the German Red Cross in Nufringen, can play a crucial role in ensuring the patient’s survival.
