“We’ve been waiting for this news for a month, we’re finally breathing.” Thus the 250 workers of La Perla, the historic Bolognese lingerie brand that ended up in insolvency, and the unions comment on the news that the Court of Bologna has admitted the production factory (La Perla Manufacturing Srl) to extraordinary administration.
The 13-page measure was deposited on the evening of May 10th at the registry office of the Court of Bologna and it will now be up to the three judicial commissioners – the lawyers Francesco Paolo Bello, Francesca Pace and Giancluca Giorgi – to roll up their sleeves to try to revive the activities, find a new investor and reconquer the markets with high-end Made in Italy corsetry.
The news in fact opens the doors to the only possibility there was to save not only the brand, but also the production activities and jobs, bringing together in a single process the other two liquidation procedures initiated for the commercial part (La Perla Italy) and the administrative one of the group (La Perla Management) and also forcing the English liquidators, who are managing the insolvency procedure across the Channel, opened last January by the British Court for the parent company La Perla Management UK, to sit at the crisis table.
The only one entitled to sell lingerie made in the Bologna factory, today as 70 years ago, with a very high level of craftsmanship.
«We consider the extraordinary administration of La Perla Manufacturing a first and important step forward to avoid the impoverishment of the value of the group and its know-how of which the workers are custodians. Now it is essential to be summoned to the Ministry of Made in Italy together with the subjects of all the open procedures, therefore also with Italian and English curators, as well as the institutions, to attempt the relaunch”, underline Stefania Pisani of Filctem Cgil of Bologna and Mariangela Occhiali of the regional Uiltec-Uil.
