January 2021: an important date for the Estic Maillot group, which opened a production plant in Italy. The group decided to make a significant investment in Italy by opening a factory in the province of Parma, the economic heart of Emilia-Romagna. The need to open in Italy was driven by the continuous demand for beehives, particularly in the glass sector, which experienced a major rebound after years of crisis due to the COVID emergency.
Despite a period of global economic difficulties caused by the pandemic, the owners decided to bet on Italy by investing directly to meet the numerous demands in a strategic market. The raw material crisis has certainly affected many companies in the sector, including the energy crisis caused by speculative factors and the recent war in Ukraine.
Italy is one of the main markets for Estic Maillot, and the group’s commitment to the Italian territory is complete. It is a complex and challenging endeavor, but one that is both fascinating and aimed at providing work for many families living in Italy.
