Headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, R?chling's global workforce includes 11,500 employees in 90 locations and 25 countries. R?chling's three divisions Industrial, Automotive and Medical generated joint annual sales of 2.352 billion euros in 2019. The nearly 200-year-old company has transformed the lives of people for almost a century with its customized plastics: reducing the weight of cars, making medication packaging more secure, and improving industrial applications.

"The R?chling Group is committed to the safety of our global workforce and to ensuring the protection of our business assets and IT operations," said Klaus-Peter Fett, Chief Information and Digital Officer at R?chling. "Everbridge CEM represents a unique solution in its ability to help us digitally transform R?chling's corporate health, risk and security programs, providing one unified platform to manage all potential risks. In today's environment, Everbridge provides us a proactive approach to risk management, employee safety and business continuity."

To support the company's goal of ensuring safety and productivity for local, remote and traveling employees, as well as organizational resiliency and business continuity, R?chling desired a solution that would enable the enterprise security team to better visualize, anticipate and manage risk events, disruptions and IT interruptions. Everbridge CEM enables R?chling to merge and display robust data sources regarding organizational assets (employees, travelers, buildings) and risk events (global pandemic, terrorism, natural disasters, weather, health risks) into a highly visual common operating view. This will enable R?chling to digitally transform how the company assesses threats, drives a coordinated response, and avoids costs and impacts to life safety, while enabling the business to operate and grow despite risk.

"With critical events such as COVID-19 on the rise, we are proud to support R?chling with their return to office efforts, in addition to improving mean time to respond to IT and business disruptions," said Javier Colado, Senior Vice President, International at Everbridge. "We are committed to delivering a secure, reliable and innovative Critical Event Management platform that enables enterprise security and resiliency leaders to deliver value and safety to their global teams."

Over 5,400 businesses, governments, and healthcare organizations currently rely on Everbridge's CEM Platform to assess threats, monitor the wellbeing of their workforces, rapidly communicate warnings, protect business assets, and accelerate the analysis of their operational response.

"As a global leading plastics manufacturer, the R?chling Group represents a significant milestone in the continued adoption of our CEM platform in the DACH region," said Andreas Junck, GM of Everbridge DACH Region. "I look forward to working with R?chling, a global player and industry champion with nearly 200 years of history and success in Germany and all over the world."

As the global leader in critical event management and public warning, Everbridge and its platform reach over 650 million people across the world while serving leading Fortune 500 companies as well as cities, states, and entire countries.
