Fameccanica, as part of the Angelini Group and of the joint venture with P&G, has taken several actions to actively react to the COVID-19 emergency.

Beginning in January, Fameccanica started an internal call for ideas which led to FPM, a machine that manufactures surgical masks, anticipating the huge demand for these sanitary articles.

Fameccanica provided fundamental support to Fater S.p.A., the Angelini and P&G joint venture company, Italian leader for personal and home care products, to reconvert an existing line to manufacture surgical masks. The first 250,000 masks produced were donated by Fater to the Italian Civil Protection.

Fameccanica supported the design and engineering development phase through video conference sessions held with Fater. This was made possible thanks to the deep competence of Fameccanica technicians and engineers, who were able to remotely manage the start-up phases.

The Angelini Group, to which Fameccanica, Fater and other companies belong, promoted other charity activities such as the “Weschool” platform, realized in collaboration with CISCO, aiming at the free supply to schools of a virtual teaching system. Also, they freely provided their disinfectant gel Amuchina to public institutions, after increasing the production to meet demand.

Furthermore, the Angelini Foundation donated funds to the National Institute for Infective Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome, to wholly finance a project for the automated diagnosis of infective diseases, that will lead to several advantages: from early diagnosis, to the rapidity and certainty of the diagnostic process.
