Italy has been hit by some of the worst natural disasters in decades. The European country was struck by a massive earthquake on May 20th, followed by two further larger ones on May 29th. As small tremors continue to arrive, the Italians struggle to regain their footing and return to normality.
Lamborghini’s factory in Sant’Agata Bolognese was in the thick of it, close to the area where the earthquakes struck the hardest. Their factory has not been damaged at all and production of the Gallardo was not affected.
However, parts suppliers that provide components for the Aventador did suffer some damage and as a result deliveries of the V12 supercar might be delayed, an official company statement said.
Right now, Lamborghini Automobili is working to solve these issues and to help its employees that have been affected by the quake.
“Furthermore Lamborghini decided to help those employees and their families who live in the area around the epicenter. This includes the possibility of an anticipated holiday allowance, but also an individual help to those who have been particularly hit by the earthquake. In order to guarantee the future of the students in the region Lamborghini decided to provide financial support in the field of education, in particular for the reconstruction of five laboratories that are part of school centers in the affected region,” Lamborghini said.
