Description
Cma-Canavera is to close, with the consequent loss of 102 jobs. The plant is located at Rocca Canavese, in the province of Turin, and it produces tubes for land drilling equipment.
Cma-Canavera belongs to the National Oilwell Varco, which is a worldwide leader in providing major mechanical components for land and offshore drilling rigs, complete land drilling and well servicing rigs, tubular inspection and internal tubular coatings, drill string equipment, extensive lifting and handling equipment, and a broad offering of down-hole drilling motors, bits and tools.
The trade unions reacted to the company's decision by going out on strike and demanding the involvement of local authorities in order to avoid the closure of the plant.
