Electrolux, voluntary exit plan for 1,250 employees: the point at Mimit

At the opening of the discussion at the Ministry of Companies, underway in Rome, Electrolux would have proposed an incentive plan for the voluntary departure of 600 employees and 650 workers over three years. We learn this from union sources. The possibility would also concern workers at the Cerreto d'Esi plant, initially indicated as destined for closure. The plant will not be decommissioned by December 31st, it is reported, but in times to be defined, pending a reindustrialization process.

"We are ready to support the new recovery plan, with all the tools, even extraordinary ones, that we will put in place with the next budget law". This is what the Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso would have declared, speaking at the Electrolux table taking place at Mimit.

Electrolux - the unions present at Mimit let it be known - reports that it plans an investment plan in Italy for 90 million and a review of the product plan. In particular, the extension of the range of refrigerators, gas hobs with a focus on the premium line, a further strengthening of ovens in the steam crisp (heat and steam cooking) and pyrolytic (self-cleaning) segments, professional washing machines and up to 12 kg, high-end washer-dryers and dishwashers is indicated. In total, we learn, production volumes should exceed three million units. Electrolux would also have introduced the topic of a social safety net plan to manage the transition and that of a "joint commitment to support the competitiveness of Italian production", with particular reference to the revision of the European Cbam mechanism (the system of duties that penalizes imports of raw materials and semi-finished products from abroad without barriers, however, for finished products).

"We must work together with all the players to define the new sustainable and shareable plan in a few days. We must do it by the end of October. For this reason we are planning as of now the date of October 29th for a new meeting so as to allow the European management of the company to preserve the Italian factories and workers from the global reorganization of the group, which should be launched in the first part of November". This is what the Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso would have declared, speaking at the Electrolux table taking place at Mimit.
