“Agrate must remain a strategic hub”: the front for the relaunch of St is united

Agrate (Monza and Brianza) – "St. Agrate must continue to be what it has always been: a strategic hub in the semiconductor industry, capable of generating employment and value for our region." This was stated by Mayor Simone Sironi after the meeting at the Mimit between the company and the unions and the withdrawal of the redundant staff , "which still needs to be filled with substance."

For months, he's been holding his breath, following the dispute step by step. "We're talking," he says, "about the future of thousands of families and the local area ." And after the metalworkers' assessments of the resolution of the dispute, the administrators' comments are also forthcoming. "The initial news coming from Rome about the site's future is certainly positive," Brianza Rete Comune emphasizes. "The 1,500 jobs on Via Olivetti, previously under discussion, are no longer at risk." For the provincial center-left group, this is "an important sign in the right direction."

"Even though there is no information yet on the industrial plan," Councilors Francesco Facciuto and Vincenzo Di Paolo point out, "employment in such a strategic sector can be protected with a bold medium-term program focused on innovation, employee development, and the ability to attract and contribute to the development of new high-tech skills. This project cannot be separated from an adequate investment framework. We await developments." According to the list, "the ST case has united broad sectors of regional policy, including the important work carried out on the benches of the Provincial Council, successfully urging and supporting those currently holding government positions."

There's also optimism in the Region. "The Agrate hub," reiterates Alessandro Corbetta, leader of the League group in the Pirellone , "is a strategic asset not only for Brianza but for the whole of Lombardy, with fundamental implications for employment, innovation, and the competitiveness of our area." "Thanks to the commitment of the Government, the institutions, and our councilor Guido Guidesi. Today, a new phase begins with the opportunity to seriously rethink the plant's future. This is a victory for good policy, based on professionalism, vision, and concreteness."
