After the talks mediated by the Ministry of Enterprise (MIMIT) collapsed, Electrolux confirmed on 4 September 2026 that 1,450 jobs will go at its Italian plants (down from the 1,700 announced in May) and that 135 fixed-term contracts will not be renewed; the closure of the Cerreto d'Esi plant stands with no alternative. The unions FIM, FIOM and UILM declared the negotiations failed and called eight-hour strikes at all plants for 15 September 2026 (Teleborsa, 7 September 2026). Definitive entry; the 12 May 2026 announcement (entry c708065e) no longer carries a figure. Update (15 September 2026): The eight-hour strike at all Italian plants took place on 15 September 2026; the same day, after meeting the unions, minister Adolfo Urso convened a new negotiating table with the company, local institutions and social partners for 5 October 2026 at the Mimit (Mimit, 15 September 2026). Update (28.09.2026): The unions have called a new strike at all Electrolux plants and a rally outside the ministry for 05.10.2026, the day of the negotiating table at the Mimit (Il Fatto Quotidiano, 28.09.2026). Update (5 Oct 2026): At the negotiating table at the industry ministry (Mimit), Electrolux withdrew the unilateral dismissals; its new plan instead offers incentives for 1,250 voluntary departures over three years (650 blue-collar and 600 white-collar workers), backed by the extraordinary wage guarantee fund. The closure of Cerreto d'Esi stands, with a reindustrialisation project to follow there; a technical meeting is set for 8 October and a plenary session for 29 October 2026 (Il Sole 24 Ore, 5 Oct 2026). — Sources: https://www.fim-cisl.it/2026/09/04/electrolux-chiede-la-cancellazione-dei-vincoli-sulla-organizzazione-del-lavoro-ma-mantiene-la-chiusura-di-cerreto-desi-e-1-450-esuberi-in-italia-oltre-al-mancato-rinnovo-di-135-lavoratori-a/ · https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/09/28/electrolux-riprende-la-lotta-degli-operai-contro-i-1-450-licenziamenti-sciopero-in-tutti-i-siti-e-presidio-sotto-il-ministero/8520887/ · https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/electrolux-ritira-licenziamenti-unilaterali-nuovo-piano-incentivi-all-esodo-e-ammortizzatori-sociali-AJXBcTZB

Italian start-up Nlcomp is opening its first production site (the roughly 4,000 m² 'rFactory') in the Lisert industrial zone in Monfalcone, making recyclable composite materials for boatbuilding and wind energy. At the same time the shipyard and shipping group Ocean is joining as a shareholder; the company raised more than €1.5m in total.

The 5.2 km metre-gauge tramway between Piazza Oberdan in Trieste and Villa Opicina (rising from 3 m to 329 m, including a 799 m cable-hauled section with gradients up to 26%, 13 stations) resumed service on 1 February 2025 after nearly nine years of closure. The line had been shut following an August 2016 collision that injured eight passengers; the regional council approved roughly EUR 3 million for restoration in 2017. The system failed again in October 2025, with repair work planned through summer 2026. — Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste%E2%80%93Opicina_tramway
