Safilo has announced that in addition to the deal with Thelios, there is an advanced negotiation regarding the transfer of the facility with entrepreneur Carlo Fulchir, who belongs to the same family that had re-industrialized the Martignacco site of Safilo through iVision. However, in this case, he would be acting independently as an entrepreneur.

The white knights for Longarone would be two. Safilo has communicated that, apart from the deal with Thelios, there is an advanced negotiation with entrepreneur Carlo Fulchir. His children, Stefano, Eva and Federico Fulchir, through I-Vision, have re-industrialized the Martignacco site of Safilo. This intervention, combined with the potential operation of Thelios Spa already communicated, would, according to the company, 'allow the preservation of the site's know-how and the complete repositioning of the current 458 workers.'

The company hopes that, thanks to the usual full involvement of social parties and institutions, the entire process can reach a swift conclusion.
