Jekko has become a supporter of I Bambini delle Fate, the Italian social enterprise that helps businesses contribute to social inclusion projects for children and young people with autism and other disabilities.
The initiative reflects Jekko’s commitment to supporting the local community where the company was founded and continues to design and manufacture its compact lifting solutions.
Through a network of local businesses, I Bambini delle Fate funds long-term projects that provide practical support to families, schools and organisations working every day to promote inclusion.
“Every day we work with people who build, create and solve challenges together,” says Mauro Tonon, Jekko Co-owner and Operations Director. “Supporting projects that strengthen our local community is a natural extension of that same approach. We are pleased to contribute, together with I Bambini delle Fate, to initiatives that create lasting value for families and young people.”
Jekko believes that companies can play an active role within their communities, supporting initiatives that generate concrete and lasting benefits for the local area.

Jekko announces its participation in FraimWork, a European consortium established to develop new digital, industrialized and sustainable solutions for the deep renovation of buildings. Through FraimWork, Jekko will collaborate with companies, universities, research centres and European technology partners to contribute to the development of a new, more industrialized, digital and sustainable construction model.
Funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, FraimWork — preFabricated deep Renovation with a modulAr Intelligent fraMe driven by autOmated and stReamlined worKflows — aims to transform the way small-scale buildings are renovated, making interventions faster, more efficient, more accessible and replicable.
The project addresses the need to accelerate the renovation of Europe’s building stock, which often consists of buildings that are difficult to standardize and complex to upgrade using traditional methods. FraimWork proposes a new approach based on modular prefabricated elements, BIM digital tools, automation, robotics and new business models.
Among the main innovations are the development of a digital infrastructure to connect design, production, logistics and on-site installation, the use of circular prefabricated components for the building envelope, and the adoption of advanced technologies to support the positioning and installation of elements.
“Jekko mini cranes and lifting systems can make a concrete contribution during the handling and installation phases of prefabricated elements, especially in urban environments, jobsites with limited access and renovation projects where precision, compactness and reduced operational impact are essential. Jekko’s participation in the FraimWork consortium perfectly reflects the company’s vision, which has always been focused on developing compact, innovative and sustainable lifting solutions for complex spaces.”
— Marco Zava, R&D Director, Jekko Innovation Center
Through this participation, Jekko confirms its commitment to promoting technologies capable of making living in better, healthier and more efficient environments increasingly accessible, while contributing to the sustainable transition of the European construction sector.
