A company crèche and kindergarten (0-6 years) in the Udine Sud industrial zone.
Alfa Sistemi, a Friuli-based technology company based in Udine, has given the official go-ahead for the construction of the facility, which will be accessible not only to the children of employees: it is intended to be a significant step forward in the field of corporate welfare, but also to support families in Friuli Venezia Giulia:
The project, which had been in the board's plans for some time, is now realised with the establishment of the ad hoc company that will take care of its management. The announcement was made by the president of Alfa Sistemi, Ferruccio Meroi, who emphasised the social mission of the initiative. The kindergarten will be open to the entire community, offering a valuable service in an area with a high density of work.
Alfa Next Srl has been set up to manage the facility. The governance sees Giulia Salucci, already head of the company's HR department, appointed managing director of Alfa Next and in charge of operations, and Marco Floreani, a point of reference for the development of the kindergarten project, as a member of the board of directors. "It is a project that entrepreneurs Meroi and Fattori had in mind for many years, and which had been waiting for the right moment to blossom," explain the company. "Today, with the establishment of Alfa Next and the start of construction, the moment of realisation has finally arrived. It is not just an investment in welfare, but a concrete way to support our young people, their families and the entire social fabric of the area, as well as to enhance the entire industrial zone and its associates.
Combination of space and accessibility
The building is a new construction, realised according to the most up-to-date dictates of architecture and school construction: it will rise in an area dedicated to services chosen for the optimal combination of space availability and accessibility. Having already obtained all the necessary authorisations from the Municipality of Udine, which has shown its interest, the laying of the foundation stone is expected shortly.
