At the same time, a series of organizational and financial initiatives have been discussed and developed to promote and support the acquisition of the asset by new investors and to facilitate the resumption of production activities and the development of the commercial and technological activities that in the meantime have been transferred to Rovereto.

Massimo De Alessandri, Marangoni Group CEO, said in a statement: “It is our intention, as well as that of the local institutions and trade union representatives to try to ensure a future for the wealth of skills, technology, and experience located at the Anagni plant, arranging the terms of the sale of assets and the resumption of the activities through formulas and methods that satisfy a wide range of options for entry and investment.”

Managers of the Anagni plant, which has a production capacity of over 3.5 million tyres a year, will soon initiate contacts with potential investors. More details are expected to follows as negotiations are opened.
