Automobili Lamborghini is restarting its production activities from today with strict safety protocols. The decision is consistent with the Italian Prime Minister’s declaration of 26 April. The Sant’Agata Bolognese company has fully prepared to provide its workers with the safest working conditions.
While the company stopped manufacturing vehicles, they did not fully stop production activities. They were creating medical protection masks and visors for St. Orsola Hospital in Bologna. The firm also collaborated with SIARE Engineering International Group for co-engineering and production of breathing simulators.
The decision to resume production was made after a discussion between the Joint Committee of the Company and Trade Unions on the COVID-19 emergency. Both the institutions have made a safety blueprint, which includes all the equipment and procedures that will ensure the worker’s well-being. The workers will also be educated before assuming their duties.
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman, and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said “We are ready to restart with great energy, but also with strict protocols for safeguarding what is most precious to us: the safety of our people. This priority is why we were the first Italian automotive company to close and continues to be our guiding principle for a well-reasoned and safe recovery because we still have not won the battle against COVID-19. We will constantly monitor the contagion’s evolution and be ready to adjust our protocols in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Italian government and the Emilia-Romagna Region, which we would like to thank for their support during this sensitive phase.”
The automaker is planning to unveil a new Lamborghini model on May 7. The company also outperformed in sales, turn over and profit last year. “We continue to nurture the dreams of our fans and customers, and on 7 May, through a virtual launch, we will present a new car in order to complete our model range. We closed the first quarter of 2020 despite the situation with very positive results. From these results we want to secure our swift return to a leadership position, delivering our vehicles once again as soon as our dealers around the world reopen for business,” the CEO stated.
