CAREL
CAREL Italian factories are currently working at full capacity.
With reference to the emergency linked to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), the CAREL Group had already launched in recent weeks a series of initiatives in its own offices and in those of its Italian subsidiaries (Recuperator SpA), aimed primarily at limiting both employee commuting and the number of employees inside the workplace and this in order to decrease infections likelihood. This was mainly implemented through the so-called "Smart-working", that is, the opportunity of working from home for two days a week, an opportunity that currently about 80% of white-collars can take advantage of. To this must be added a series of other measures including the substantial ban on travel abroad and the reduction of visits by external visitors only to cases of actual need. These initiatives are perfectly consistent also with the new Decree issued by the Government and will therefore be maintained and, if necessary, further reinforced in the coming days.
At the moment, in any case, the full operation of all Italian plants is confirmed. Moreover, CAREL highlights that the vast majority of its products is produced in, at least, two production plants. Besides, please note that yesterday, March 8th, an explanatory note of the aforementioned Decree was published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in which it is specified that: "the goods can enter and leave the territories concerned. The transport of goods is considered as a work requirement: the personnel who drives the means of transport can therefore enter and leave the territories concerned and move within them, limited to the needs of delivery or collection of the goods."
CAREL is highly focused on the management of this emergency and will put in place all the necessary measures in order to better protect the health of its employees both in Italy and abroad.

Arneg Group
To all Arneg Group employees and business partners
In this difficult moment, we are addressing all our employees, business partners and stakeholders, a few hours after the issuance of the Prime Ministerial Decree 08/03/2020 concerning further measures to prevent the spread of COVID 19.
In these hours, we are in constant contact with our Trade Association to learn in greater detail the rules for the application of the new provisions and we are comforted by the fact that, at the moment, the production activities are not compromised by the current limitations. We will therefore be able to continue our work while striving to ensure the safety of all interactions with our activities, internally and externally, putting the health of employees, suppliers and customers first.
Our support and thanks go to all the companies - whether large or small - that continue to make their contribution to the production sector in Northern Italy, to which the Arneg Group belongs.
The Arneg Group does not stop, Italy does not stop.
We move forward, with responsibility and sense of civic duty, always respecting our corporate values.
The President, Luigi Finco
