Regarding preparations for the resumption, the company stated that after temporarily suspending production on March 13, it spent several weeks in "the Joint Committee of the Company and Trade Unions" (established immediately after the suspension) reviewing procedures for returning to work and the equipment to be used. To ensure the maximum safety of Lamborghini employees, they have continued to cooperate on precise safety protocols, including comprehensive training.
Stefano Domenicali, Chairman & CEO, commented, "We are motivated and ready for the restart. However, our utmost priority is the safety of our employees, and we will implement strict safety procedures to protect them.
This priority is why Lamborghini was among the first to suspend operations, and it continues to guide our thorough discussions and safe return. This is because we have not yet won the battle against the coronavirus.
We will continue to monitor the infection situation and review our procedures in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Italian government and the Emilia-Romagna region.
In this cautious phase, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the support from the government and local authorities."
He added, "We will continue to nurture the dreams of Lamborghini fans and all our customers, and on May 7, we will unveil a new model that completes the series online.
Lamborghini closed the first quarter of 2020 with very positive results. In light of these results, we want to return quickly as industry leaders and deliver our cars to everyone as soon as possible after dealerships worldwide reopen," he stated.
During the temporary suspension of production, the company repurposed part of its factory to produce medical masks and face shields for the Sant'Orsola-Malpighi Polyclinic Hospital, and also worked on the design and production of ventilators with Siare Engineering International.
