Everything about Pelligra Holding which will (maybe) save Termini Imerese
The Pelligra group, specialized in the reconversion of abandoned industrial areas, will try yet another relaunch of the former Fiat plant in Termini Imerese. Here are the latest news
For yet another relaunch of the former Fiat plant in Termini Imerese, the Italian-Australian route is even being tried. The Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, has in fact authorized the completion of the sale of the business unit of Blutec Spa in extraordinary administration (an entrepreneurial adventure that ended in the worst possible way ) to Pelligra Italia Holding Srl, which won the tender.
PELLIGRA'S PROJECTS FOR TERMINI IMERESE
Pelligra Holding Italia Srl's plan prevailed over the other four rival offers as "it was the only one fully compliant with the tender regulations, with an offer of 8 million euros and the provision of hiring at least 350 former Blutec employees , currently on redundancy pay, with a guarantee of employment for the next 24 months."
Minister Urso explained that through this choice we will proceed with a far-reaching project for the relaunch of the entire industrial area of Termini Imerese, which will become the largest commercial and logistical port in all of western Sicily and will also have an interport.
The interport will instead allow different modes of transport to be combined (road, rail, sea), making it the intermodal center of gravity of a large production area. The port of Termini Imerese, from November, will become the main commercial port of western Sicily, with the movement of MSC (Aponte) activities from Palermo to Termini Imerese.
WHO IS ROSS PELLIGRA
Ross Pelligra (in the photo) is therefore the entrepreneur identified by the extraordinary commissioners of Blutec. The Italian-Australian real estate developer is also the current president of Catania Calcio. A return to Trinacria as heroes for the Pelligra family, who emigrated from Sicily and more precisely from Syracuse in the 1960s, at the time of " grandfather Rosario and uncle Frank ", towards Victoria in Australia, whose government was looking for manpower to build their cities.
Before setting foot in Sicily again, in his mother's hometown for the acquisition of Catania Calcio (Syracusan on his father's side), Pelligra with his family business had instead concentrated on the vast East of the world: from the Philippines to India to to China. Then in June 2022 he returned to his homeland, touching the heartstrings of the people of Catania ("Catania, lo fazzu pe te" he immediately declared to the media who came to meet him).
But, it is said in the circles, Ross (or Rosario, as the fans call him) has already started to look beyond the Strait, much further north and to be precise at the Varese basketball team. Moreover, Catania Calcio is not the only club in Ross Pelligra's portfolio, who has also recently bought the Australian team New Perth .
