Brembo is to temporarily halt production in its Italian plants of Stezzano, Curno, Mapello and Sellero from today (16 March) to 22 March as the effects of the coronavirus continue to be felt.

“The decision is in line with the extraordinary provisions of the Italian government and has the aim of protecting people’s health and safety, in the face of the evolution of the COVID19 pandemic and the consequent objective impossibility of operating continuously,” said a Brembo statement.

“Brembo made this decision with a great sense of responsibility and in agreement with all the social partners involved, to intensify the measures already adopted since the early stages of spreading the virus and to ensure greater safety and serenity for all its people.

“The company continues to monitor the evolution of the situation with the utmost attention and is ready to resume its activities with the commitment and gaze towards the future that has always characterised it.”
