Benelli, a major reorganization project is ready

Benelli – It has been reduced by 24 unit the number of redundancies proposed to the unions to deal with the crisis in the motorcycle sector by the Chinese group Qianjiang, owner of Benelli Moto in Pesaro. All after the workers of Fim and Fiom they set up a demonstration in the company's historical museum to ask for clarity on the industrial plan, and a meeting with the president Lin Hua Zhing.

The secretary of the Fim Cisl Leonardo Bartolucci he stated that without a plan the vision of the future for Benelli would be unclear. Despite the number of redundancies has recorded excellent results and incentives for voluntary exodus have risen to around 10-12 thousand euros, the reorganization intervention promises to be important in any case. Benelli workers fear they could become just a trade bridge for the sale of scooters produced abroad, also for this reason the mayor of Pesaro Matteo ricci he visited the garrison and the unions asked him to request a meeting with the president of the QJ Group.

The Chinese multinational acquired Benelli in 2005 from Fineldo, the financial company of the Merloni family and last month the managing director Yan Haimei of the QJ Group had reassured that the Chinese have every intention of stay in the Marche. "From the day of the acquisition to today we have invested over 40 million euros, but the market crisis is unprecedented. We have resorted to all the social safety nets, CIG, CIGs, solidarity contracts, but the solidarity contract does not allow us to solve the problem at its root. We must create a leaner and more solid structure that allows the company to return to making profits”, concluded Yan Haimei.
