Phase 2: La Sportiva resumes production and reopens its brand-stores the 18th May

From Monday 18th May, the Ziano di Fiemme factory and the mono-brand stores will reopen safely.

Masks, gloves and social distancing are the new mantra of phase two in the fight against the Coronavirus epidemic and La Sportiva is ready to face it in safety: from Monday 18th May the production of climbing shoes and mountain boots officially resumes in its factories in Val di Fiemme and with it the whole production chain. Initially, 200 factory workers ( out of a company population of over 360 people) will take turns on two daily shifts of 4 hours while the employees who can work from home in smart-working will continue to do so, in order to reduce the number of people present in the company at the same time. In addition to these measures employees’ body temperature will be checked upon entry and exit in order to guarantee additional safety for all workers and minimize the risk of gatherings.

“We are finally back in operation even if not yet fully operational” says Lorenzo Delladio, CEO & President – there is a need to restart the company and the entire supply chain with the aim of returning 100% of production capacity by June. It will also be essential to see how the market will respond and an immediate “feel” of the situation will come from of our mono-brand stores set to reopen on Monday 18th May, thanks to the work of our safety managers who have implemented and applied in record time all the measures aimed at limiting the contagion, we have however preferred to wait and resume production and re-open the brand stores at the same time.”
