With reference to the Decree N°59 of the 8th of March 2020 regarding the restrictions of access and travel to/from Northern Italy, we would like to reassure our Customers that FOMAS Group’s production and supply chain are fully operating in compliance with the Government requirements. This applies to the Italian companies: FOMAS SPA / ASFO SPA / HOT ROLL SRL / MIMETE SRL.

Furthermore, the Group has enforced strict ESH measures communicated to all employees.
Measures for external visitors allow external access strictly for supplies exclusively connected to the continuity of manufacturing activities.
Currently the are no limitations influencing production or delivery of goods. Loading of goods is possible as far as the logistic companies comply to the following procedures:
