AI-generated summary
Sanac in extraordinary administration and process of sale of the factories.
The Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, has authorized the extraordinary commissioners of Sanac in A.S. to the sale to Erre Trading of the factories in Massa (Tuscany), Gattinara (Piedmont) and Vado Ligure (Liguria). The ministry announced this in a note explaining that "the operation involves the production continuity of the three sites, the maintenance of the 180 workers employed in total and a further 15 hirings in 2027".
For the Assemini plant (Sardinia), initially included in the offer received, the decision takes into account the position of the Region which, through the Councilor for Industry Emanuele Cani, expressed reservations about the solution envisaged for the management of processing residues, considered by Erre Trading to be essential for the reconversion of the site.
The Sardinia Region has reported a new expression of interest received: this demonstration, preliminary and non-binding, is now being examined by the commissioners for the necessary technical, administrative and economic insights into the feasibility of the reconversion and employment prospects.
The time needed to explore this new perspective for Assemini - we read in the note - "were not, however, compatible with the expiry of Erre Trading's binding offer, set for 27 October. The extraordinary commissioners therefore requested authorization from Mimit to proceed without further postponement with the sale of the other three factories, for which the buyer had confirmed its commitment, avoiding putting at risk the industrial and employment solution already achieved".
"The commitment of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy - concludes the note - remains that of giving an industrial perspective to all Sanac sites and protecting their workers, continuing the work for Assemini, with the examination of the alternative proposal supported by the Sardinia Region, without dispersing the results already achieved for Massa, Gattinara and Vado Ligure".
