VMI donates $174,000 to support Ukrainian refugees

EPE, Netherlands—VMI Group, a subsidiary of TKH Group N.V., and its employees raised funds to support refugees affected by Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine.

The company donated about $17,000 (€160,000) to "Giro 555," the Dutch part of the global Emergency Appeals Alliance, to provide "practical support" to Ukrainian refugees.

The company said the fundraising is part of the efforts it has made to help refugees, noting its Poland location has been actively involved in giving food and shelter to people.

In a small ceremony, Michael Oosterhuis of the Works Council, handed a check representing the donation to VMI CEO Harm Voortman.

"We are very proud of the efforts of the VMI family to support the refugees in this unprecedented crisis," Voortman said. "We sincerely hope that our contribution to the Emergency Appeals Alliance will directly help the Ukrainian people. Our thoughts go out to all the people affected in the area."
