Electrolux plans to cut 1,700 jobs and close its Italian plant

Electrolux plans to cut 1,700 jobs at its Italian plants and to close the Cerreto d'Esi plant in the Marche region. The Italian government convened crisis talks; the cuts are part of a group-wide programme covering 3,000 jobs. Update (4 September 2026): After the talks failed, Electrolux confirmed 1,450 cuts (separate follow-up entry, which carries the figure); this entry is no longer counted.
