Edition 1/2022
Dear Collaborators,
it is with great pleasure that we launch the first edition of "Elettra News", the internal communication newsletter of the Elettra Group 1938. The scope of this initiative is to share and keep all staff updated on the main news related to the businesses and people who are part of the Group, finding us if only virtually closer after a few years of forced removal!
The new year that has just begun will see us committed to facing new challenges and opportunities that, as always, we will be able to manage with enthusiasm and determination. I therefore take this opportunity to wish and wish us all a fabulous 2022!

Since its origins, the FZSoNick Group strongly believes in Sustainability and the product it has always produced and marketed is clear proof of this.
The increased sensitivity to sustainability also by our customers and the importance that the theme of Sustainable Development is assuming worldwide, prompted us to launch last year the internal iniziative FZSustainable! with the aim of involving and making all employees aware of the issue of sustainable development to actively contribute to the global challenge of sustainability.
The initiative was a great success: 61 proposals received were evaluated by a dedicated team on the basis of the criteria of originality, feasibility and impact. In this way, 3 more original proposals and 14 immediately feasible activities (less original but at no or very low cost) have been identified which will be scheduled in the coming months, and which will give implementation and continuity to the project.
Congratulations to everyone for their active participation and in particular to Fabrizio Vagliani, Alberto Turconi and Alessandro Schiavulli who distinguished themselves for the originality of the proposals, the concrete feasibility of which will be investigated in the coming months.
Our Group has a long industrial history behind it and its origins date back to the year 1942, when the Dolcetta family bought the ELETTRA battery factory in Montecchio Maggiore founded in 1938 and changed its name to FIAMM (acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Accumulatori Motocarri Montecchio). From that moment it began the production of lead-acid batteries and car components, which led it to become the undisputed world leader in the industrial sector and in the automotive market.
In 2017, following the purchase by Hitachi Chemical ltd of 51% of FIAMM's lead-acid battery business, the company began a new phase of its path, changing its name to ELETTRA 1938 and becoming the parent company of the group today focused on Innovation and Sustainability, with the production of Salt Batteries for the back-up and energy storage market, and of the innovative AVAS and Remote Tuner Modules, components for new generation hybrid and electric cars that are added to traditional acoustic signaling systems and passive antennas.
