Italian industrial restructuring and manufacturing labor

Overview

Italy is undergoing significant industrial restructuring. In the steel sector, Acciaierie Valbruna SpA and the Province of Bolzano are nearing an agreement, with a target signing date of September 3, 2026, for a 30-year production concession renewable for another 30 years.

Electrolux is facing a major industrial crisis following a restructuring plan involving approximately 1,450 redundancies nationwide. The plan includes the closure of the Cerreto d’Esi plant, affecting 170 workers, and significant job losses at the Forlì and Porcia facilities. At Porcia, 463 positions are at risk, and there are concerns regarding the relocation of washer-dryer production to Thailand. In Solaro, the company faces criticism for potential layoffs and the non-renewal of fixed-term contracts despite the site’s R&D importance. Labor unions, including Fim, Fiom, Uilm, and CGIL, have organized national strikes, protesting increased production speeds and demanding that any redundancies remain voluntary.

In response, Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso has coordinated with regional leaders to establish a unified strategy. Discussions include potential sales to Midea and seeking European Commission measures to protect the home appliance sector. Meanwhile, tensions have also risen at the Beko plant in Melano and the Eurallumina plant in Portovesme, the latter of which is undergoing discussions regarding a negotiated sale or extraordinary administration.

Additionally, the Ficomirrors plant in Morcone faces a crisis due to the planned transfer of Fiat Ducato mirror production to Poland in late 2029.
