2020 年 6 月 19 日 —— 埃爾瑪集團在與 Covid-19 大流行相關的經濟動盪中表現良好。安全的流動性和穩健的資產負債表使 Elma 能夠管理這一前所未有的時間。
當前的冠狀病毒大流行顯然影響埃爾瑪的全球業務。一些客戶已經減少了他們的容量。因此，Elma 也不得不調整其生產能力，並引入部分短時間工作。Elma 通過一套措施對發展迅速做出反應，從而避免了更長的時間內生產中斷。
冠狀病毒疫情導致各項項目延遲，在某些情況下導致客戶訂單延遲。儘管如此，2020 年首五個月，訂單收入和淨銷售均保持穩定水平，儘管在前一年略低。不同國家政府批准的基本業務領域繼續推行，導致了持續的需求和穩定的訂單收入，尤其是在美國和英國的國防工業。個別產品線也能從醫療行業的需求增加中受益，尤其是歐洲，這導致在短時間內產生良好的負載。在不同國家實施的「封鎖」期間，生產大多數情況下通過嚴格的保護措施維持。訂單收入和銷售在亞洲地區發展良好。2020 年初，艾爾瑪已經面臨下降的需求，尤其是在中國。然而，在冠狀病毒大流行的限制之後，中國的商業活動比其他地區早起步。
