A green area for San Zeno school in Cassola
Thanks to a planning agreement between Syncro System and the municipality of Cassola, San Zeno primary school will be given a green space of 800 square metres to the south of the current school yard.
The area represents approximately one quarter of the land occupied by the Syncro factory until September 2014, when operations moved from the centre of San Zeno to the new, modern premises in Via Portile.
“We are particularly proud of certain achievements,” Luca Comunello, President of the Syncro Group, explains, “and this is one of them. Our company grew up in the heart of this community so we are excited to make some of the land once occupied by our old factory available to its children, now and in future.”
Thanks to negotiations conducted with the municipal council in recent years, a project long dreamed of will soon become reality. From the 1960s to 2012, first Francom and then Syncro System grew on this land, specialising in van racking in 1996.
Following demolition of the factory buildings and a thorough reclamation of the area, some 800 square metres will become an outdoor classroom for the environmental education of local primary school children. The green area will give the youngsters a chance to delve even deeper into the nature-related projects that won them a prize in the “Nature Looks After Itself” national competition organised by the WWF in 2024.
The municipal council will complete transformation of the old site by as early as 2026. For Syncro, this represents another step towards the company’s corporate sustainability objectives:
🌱Environmental sustainability: Syncro’s first factory in the heart of San Zeno becomes an outdoor workshop for environmental education and the protection of biodiversity.
🌱Social sustainability: the area’s change of use will have a positive impact on the local community to which the company has been closely associated ever since its formation in 1960.
