Forlì-Cesena Chamberof Commerce

A dynamic social and economic situation integrated in a territory rich in cul-ture and traditions: this is Forlì-Cesena Province. Development and social co-hesion have brought good quality of life; the Province is well-positioned in the European context. Businesses and Public Administration work together to enhance the territory in a context of subsidiary between public and private.

The territory of the Province covers an area of 2,377 sq km, and is part plain, part hill country, and part mountainous. For administrative purposes, the Prov-ince is sub-divided into 30 municipalities, the principal ones being Forlì (the chief town) and Cesena. The Province is well-known for its seaside resorts, especially Cesenatico, and for three spa towns: Bagno di Romagna, Castro-caro and Fratta Terme.

The Province has about 372,000 inhabitants, of whom 177,500 reside in the Forlì district and 194,500 in the Cesena district; almost 60% of the inhabitants of the Province live in the two principal municipalities, Forlì and Cesena.

In relation to the influx of immigrants both from other Italian provinces and from abroad, the Province appears especially attractive.

The occupational situation is especially good: high employment figures and low unemployment figures, among the best within the national average. The wealth produced in the Province, (added value) is about 9,000 million Euros. Forlì – Cesena accounts for approximately 8.4% of the added value of the Emilia- Romagna region, and the territory has always shown good levels of growth over time.

The contribution of single sectors of the economy is as follows: agriculture

5

4.5%, industry strictly defined 19%, building 6.2%, services 70.3%.

The Province has become over time one of the foremost in Italy for added value per head, above the national average. The productive structure of the territory, based mainly on a number of small businesses operating in various fields, is distinguished by widespread entrepreneurship and a high number of cooperative undertakings. A number of large businesses also operate in this context, playing a major role in the development of the territory. The Province numbers about 40,300 businesses: 1business per every 9 inhabitants, against 9.7 at regional level and 11.5 in Italy.

Overseas relations are dynamic, and imports are mainly in the following sec-tors: “foodstuffs”, “electrical machinery”, “mechanical machinery and de-vices”, “agriculture, game and fishing”, “chemical products”. Products most exported: “mechanical machinery and devices”, “farm produce”, “leather and leather goods” (footwear), “ foodstuffs and beverages”, “metals and metal products”, “upholstered furniture”.

The businesses present in the Province are particularly inclined towards rela-tions with European Union countries.

The main partners in trade are Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Outside the E.U. trade is mainly with other European countries, North America, and Eastern Asia.

Local companies are generally oriented towards the overseas market, to-wards internationalization, quality, innovation; and there is a dynamic flow of investments to and from other countries.

VetroVentilato transforms a window from the weakest point thermally in a building to the strongest, because the system guarantees less heat loss than a wall. VetroVentilato creates a thermal and acoustic buffer in just 50 mm which protects the room from heat, cold and noise and as a result ther-mal insulation and soundproofing are of a higher standard than is required by stringent EU requisites. VetroVentilato means more comfortable living spaces and greater energy savings. VetroVentilato is a dynamic triple glazing enve-lope system which features a built-in blind in the external cavity and a tangen-tial fan which mechanically ventilates the internal cavity. It can be fitted into traditional frames without having to make any alterations. The triple glazing system is only 50 mm thick and a slim 25 mm with double glazing, which is fitted with a micro-perforated technical curtain. VetroVentilato is the ideal solution when glazing straightforward windows or more complicated curtain walls. VetroVentilato can be installed as a stand-alone system or work alongside other HVAC systems to deliver enhanced climate control. The combined set-tings system allows you to monitor the main working parameters and to ac-tively control the tangential fan and built-in blind to obtain top performance and ensure an optimum level of comfort in the environment.

Thanks to this versatility, designers can freely choose the right con-figuration for their clients: they have peace of mind that the system will fit in seamlessly with the other components in the building and maximise the energy performance of the building-system.

Vicar s.r.l. manufactures turbine sprayers for fruit and wine-growing. The company introduces a new technology with turbine instead of propeller: the turbine forces the air into suitable ducts, using spray heads assembled at the outlet of the air, which allows the best spray to the trees.

This technology saves approximately 70-80% of water and product compared to the usual propeller technology, with great environmental ben-efits.

Vicar’s typical customers are either a family company or a big com-pany involved in fruit or winegrowing.

They are looking for new customers and agents in the Lebanese and Middle East markets.

FIT INTERIORS is the brand of GRUPPO P&G specialised in solutions for fitness, wellness and beauty, golf and sports facilities. Its twenty years of experience and constant technical and aesthetic research have resulted in production lines characterised by a very high level of design, combined with the best quality currently available on the market. Our offers are always based on con-stant research to discover the latest market trends: the result is a product line that is always modern and up-to-date. Each project is carefully monitored to allow for the creation of solutions that are always customised and perfectly adapted to each individual situation. Since March 2010, Fit Interiors starts an innovative production based on ecology. All lockers are made with a highly eco-friendly melamine panel. Two reasons have driven us to adopt this new production program: 1- ENVIRONMENT: The panel is made of recycled ma-terial (European FSC Regulations) and therefore without using specific types wood (Green Heart wood). 2- HEALTH: The formaldehyde emission of the panel is less than 0.3mg/litre; this is less than the emission of a standard panel which is equal to or less than 1.5 mg/litre. However, formaldehyde is a substance that is present in nature and, in high concentra-tions, it can cause serious health problems; the World Health Or-ganisation recommends using the minimum amount possible.
