Summary · why it matters

Bekaert has signed a preliminary agreement with Nuova Icom, a Sardinian industrial engineering and metalworking company, to reindustrialize its Macchiareddu site in Sardinia, Italy. The agreement provides for the transfer of the site and the reemployment of Bekaert employees under specified terms. Production at the site had declined due to structural changes in the tire industry, making tire cord production no longer viable. The transaction is expected to close in October 2026, subject to consultation and customary conditions.
