Rossi Group: the importance of territory

Rossi Group has invested about 5 million for the new Ganaceto plant, which is expected to be ready by the end of 2024. In Lecce, the Group also continues to support social sustainability with 175 employees for the dedicated IFIT technology plant and a fruitful collaboration with the University of Lecce to recruit technical talent that enriches the company's team and competitiveness.
