A ray of hope in difficult times: busch+müller supports aid convoy to Ukraine

Thanks to an initiative by our colleague Dimitri Bratan, 100 high-quality battery-powered floodlights were able to provide targeted assistance where they were most urgently needed: in parts of Ukraine that are suffering from widespread power cuts.

The current situation in many regions of Ukraine is placing an enormous strain on the civilian population. Electricity is often only available for a few hours a day; the nights remain dark, which poses a significant safety risk, particularly during air raid alerts and in the evening hours. Whilst younger people can often rely on their smartphones, older people in particular lack reliable sources of light.

Targeted help for everyday life

Dimitri Bratan, a member of our team, recognised the need and organised an aid convoy through his local community. We were very happy to support this initiative and provided a total of 100 rechargeable spotlights of the IXON Fyre and Eyro models.

These models are ideal for this purpose:

  • Easy to use: Robust and intuitive to operate.
  • USB charging function: The torches can be easily recharged during the brief periods when electricity is available.
  • High luminosity: They provide enough light to find one’s way safely, even in basements or during a night-time alarm.

Gratitude on the ground

The feedback from the crisis zone is moving. The torches were specifically distributed to elderly people, for whom the light restores a sense of quality of life and safety. “People are incredibly grateful for this practical help,” reports Dimitri Bratan after the handover.

Managing Director Guido Müller is impressed by the initiative within his own company:

“We are very proud of Dimitri Bratan’s commitment. When he approached us with the idea, it was a matter of course for us to help without any red tape. It is important to us, as a company from the region, that we can make a small contribution to alleviating the suffering of the people in Ukraine and, with our products, give them back a sense of security in their everyday lives.”

For us at busch+müller, it is a matter close to our hearts that our products make a difference where light is not just a matter of comfort, but a vital source of aid.
