BERGAMO - Radici Plastics Suzhou, a RadiciGroup company specializing in engineering polymer production and based in Jiangsu Province in China, has joined a fund-raising drive promoted by the Italian community in Shanghai to send a Bergamo hospital over 20,000 masks and other medical devices.
The campaign has already seen a raft of equipment arrive at its destination, the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, located in the same Italian city as RadiciGroup.
In addition to the donation from Radici Plastics Suzhou, the employees of the company (about one hundred strong) also wanted to participate in the drive by joining the initiative of the Italian community in Shanghai coordinated by some native Bergamascans who live and work in the city. A total of over €35,000 was collected to help the Bergamo area cope with the coronavirus emergency with further aid expected to arrive soon.
"This is evidence that, in this severe global scenario, collaboration among the various organizations located all over the world will become even more valuable," RadiciGroup said. "In compliance with local laws and regulations, all RadiciGroup companies and the Bergamo headquarters, in particular, have immediately adopted measures to prevent the spread of infection and are continuously staying up to date on the evolution of the emergency to further the aim of strengthening the Group safety culture."
