But the cost of wood is alarming The good news is that the production of industrial wood and pallet packaging has restarted. Good news not only because it is a sector that in Italy is worth 1.7 billion euros and employs 11 thousand people in 2,200 companies, but also because it has always been a litmus test for the state of health of Italian manufacturing in general, given that its products are intended for large-scale distribution or companies for the transport of goods on the domestic market and around the world. However, there is a downside that alarms producers, as Ezio Daniele, president of Assoimballaggi explains: "For some months we have been experiencing a difficult situation, because work has increased after years of decline and this is certainly a positive fact. , but it is creating a problem of finding raw materials, with a consequent rise in prices ». The European sawmills from which Italian companies in the sector traditionally source their supplies, in particular the Austrian and German ones, have not yet recovered the pre-crisis production volumes and are therefore unable to cope with the recovery in demand. Not only that: as explained by Andrea Silvestri, director in charge of Assoimballaggi for the pallet producers group, in these years of crisis the main suppliers in Italy have looked for customers elsewhere (especially Asia and America) to compensate for the drop in demand from our country, which today is no longer the target market for them. in fact, they have not yet resumed pre-crisis production volumes and are therefore unable to cope with the recovery in demand.
