Italian Tile Industry Continues Production & Donates Money to Local Hospitals

The Italian ceramic industry is making every possible organizational effort to implement preventive measures for worker protection, with the aim of reconciling public health priorities with the continuation of transport and production activities. In today’s challenging market situation, it is essential for Italian ceramic companies to continue their operations in accordance with specific strategies and business choices so as not to undermine all the investments and efforts that have been made over the years.

Ever since the creation of the first “coronavirus red zone”, and in consultation with the trade unions, ceramic companies have organized working and eating spaces that guarantee the legally required safety distances; they have increasingly adopted smart working solutions, reaching values of 30% and peaks of 50% in office areas; they have made it easier for employees to take holiday leave for family needs; they have suspended training courses and adopted different methods for company meetings and unavoidable transfers. They have also widely disseminated information on legal requirements and, where appropriate, distributed protective equipment and carried out more frequent sanitization of workplaces.
