Goodbye CRIK CROK? The truth about the crisis of historic Made in Italy chips

It has been active since 1949, but the crisis does not spare even one of the most historical companies. In Pomezia, the plant of CRIK CROK risks closing. The reason? Possible failure for debts.

Reason why production is now reduced to a minimum, the lines are firm and the increasingly rare working days. In a nutshell, the Pomezia plant of the well -known chipped brand is one step away from the closure and President Francesca Ossani will have to prepare a agreed plan To avoid the failure.

Obviously, those who will have to serve the worst part are the employees and their families: the extraordinary layoffs promised for months has never been paid and over a hundred workers have remained without income.

The position of the unions

The unions (Fai Cisl, Flai Cgil, Uila Uil) denounce a “social emergency” and ask for an immediate crisis table and the payment of arrears.

As union organizations we continue to act with determination to defend the rights, wages and dignity of all the people involved. We have supported any attempt to safeguard, with seriousness and respect, but today a change of pace is needed by all institutional and corporate subjects, they say in a joint note.

The Lazio Region and the local Pd also intervened, soliciting immediate intervention by national institutions.

In 2019, at the entrance to the capital of the Liga Group and the Ossani & Lia management, a relaunch plan had been promoted (new production lines, expansion on foreign markets), but did not prevent the current shoulder strap. Today, the presentation of a new composition with creditors is added to the difficult business management, which throws further shadows on the future. Today, the risk is not only the loss of jobs, the survival of a production reality with industrial and social value for the territory is in question.

The unions ask for the immediate payment of Cigs by the INPS, the recognition of what is due to workers and workers and financial support that guarantees dignified living conditions.

In short, it is a severe financial and management crisis, worsened by heavy backlogs and by a relaunch proposal that has not been fruitful for now. If you do not arrive money (or a serious buyer) and a real turning point by the company or institutions, the risk of closing remains very high and with it the fate of almost 100 families and a lot of the local entrance.
