STMicroelectronics (STM) has reconfirmed its investment commitment in Italy to the country's government, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the company.
The chipmaker reassured its planned investments at sites in Agrate in northern Italy and Catania in Sicily, with a plan to double manufacturing at Agrate by 2027, the news outlet added, citing the company at a meeting in Rome.
STMicroelectronics is ready to start constructive discussions with Italian trade unions to avoid unilateral actions on job levels in Italy, STMicroelectronics added during the meeting, the news outlet said.
"I ask for a new industrial plan that would put Italy back at the centre of the company's development," Italian senator Adolfo Urso was quoted as saying by his staff, according to Reuters.
STMicroelectronics did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
Shares of the company were down over 6% in recent Thursday premarket activity.
