Coronavirus Emergency: GSA donates 500 bottles of disinfectant
G.S.A. (Gruppo Servizi Associati), a company founded in Udine in 1996, now present country-wide with 4,000 employees, and a national and European leader in the safety and multiservice sector, has chosen a day as significant and important for our region as the 3rd of April, celebrating and commemorating the birth of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, for an important gesture of solidarity.
The company, now controlled by the Armònia SGR fund, partner of the founder Alessandro Pedone, has decided to donate to the Udine Civil Protection Centre 500 bottles of My Safe, a hand sanitising gel with a 40% to 50% percentage of alcohol developed and distributed throughout the country by the company in recent weeks. Production of the gel was started due to the lack of this particular personal hygiene device at the peak of the Covid-19 health crisis in our country.
GSA’s CEO Alessandro Pedone and its CFO Marco Latini delivered the material directly to the Mayor Pietro Fontanini, the Town Councillor Alessandro Ciani and the Local Police Commander Eros Del Longo at the Udine Civil Protection Centre.
“The world of business,” said the Mayor, “is once more taking a front line position in managing this emergency. As in the case of the 1976 earthquake, entrepreneurs will need to be directly involved in the decisions that will have to be taken in the difficult ‘reconstruction’ phase that awaits us in the coming months and perhaps even years. Initiatives such the one organised by Alessandro Pedone not only provide concrete help, but also give hope to those who work day after day to manage this epidemic.”
“These 500 bottles form part of the first batch to have reached at our headquarters and general directorate in Feletto Umberto,” added the CEO Alessandro
Pedone. “We instantly decided to give it to the Civil Protection Centre of Udine as a sign of gratitude towards the city where the company was born and with which GSA has developed a close bond. This is where our roots are and we hope that this small gesture will help all the workers struggling tirelessly against this scourge which is jeopardising our safety, not just by raising their morale, but also in more practical terms.”
