With the company’s 50th anniversary approaching, Macron has inaugurated its new headquarters with an open house for the VIPs of Bologna’s society. The company broke ground for the new campus in July 2019 in the town of Valsamoggia, Italy, situated 10 km from Bologna, 25 km from Modena and right on the thoroughfare connecting Milan to Rome. The complex covers some 55,000 square meters – with 22,000 square meters pf buildings for logistics (16,000 sqm) and offices (6,000 sqm) – and has received BREEAM Excellent Certification for sustainability. Photovoltaic panels supply 350 kWp, and tanks collect rainwater. Around the buildings lie 15,000 square meters of fields, with 150 trees and 2,000 bushes. There are 15 conference rooms and four showrooms, as well as facilities for electric cars and car-sharing. To underscore its local connections, Macron has made donations to Bologna’s Sant’Orsola Polyclinic and set up an online channel to expedite purchase of surgical masks and tickets to watch its sponsored teams’ sports matches.
