Economic satellite businesses

Thanks to a competitive production model that is strongly linked to the Italian production network, Fincantieri generates additional impact on the national economy.

According to a Censis study, the Fifth Report on the Economy of the Sea 2015, every euro invested in shipyards produces a value 4.5 times greater, mostly benefitting the area where it is located, through the involvement of a wide and diverse network of companies, many of which are highly specialized small or medium-sized enterprises. Each cruise ship built by Fincantieri develops on average € 2.7 to € 3.6 billion of business volume for the Italian System:

The impact on employment can be calculated by initially considering direct employment, that is direct jobs at Fincantieri in Italy, to which first-tier indirect employment is added, that is jobs at Fincantieri contractors, as well as second-tier employment, represented by jobs at sub-contractors. In turn, it is necessary to add to this final employment figure the satellite business jobs due to consumption by the families of all employees.

From the graph it can be seen that:

 - the more than 9,800 direct resources at Fincantieri activate in Italy more than 57,700 employment units in industry (considering contracts and subcontracts) in the manufacturing industry;
 - adding to this the induced effect of family consumption, employment reaches 89,900 units.

Considering both the effects upstream and downstream of its production organization, Fincantieri therefore has a significant employment multiplier effect, confirming the broad impact the Company has on the country's economic system.
