Reorganization in the world of cooperatives. The Solidarietà e Servizi social cooperative sold the business branch relating to contracted services for minors to the Progetto A social cooperative, with over 600 employees and around 19.000 users in various regions. Solidarity and Services, based in Busto Arsizio (VA) has been active since 1979 and is part of Confcooperative. In 2019 it recorded revenues of 27,1 million euros. The president is Domenico Pietrantonio, who also holds the position of vice president of Confcooperative Insubria. Overall, before the sale, Solidarietà e Servizi had around 1.370 employees.
Progetto A, founded in 1995, has its operational headquarters in Agrate Brianza (MB) and is part of the KCS Consortium. In 2019, the production value reached 15,2 million euros. The president is Eros Giampiero Ferri. Before the acquisition of the company branch, there were 856 employees. Progetto A has diversified its business over the years, which now includes 60 services in various Italian regions. The "core business" remains the well-being of the minor.

With the operation Project A acquired the operational structure and know-how of Solidarietà e Servizi in the contracted services sector for minors.
