Equipment manufacturer Quick signed an agreement to purchase Sanguineti Chiavari, a Ligurian company that designs and makes such components as gangways, boarding ladders and tender handling systems.
“Sanguineti is a company offering important manufacturing skills and a brand recognized worldwide for its quality and reliability in a segment of the market with great potential for growth,” Quick CEO Michele Marzucco said in a statement. “Sanguineti represents the first step in a project that aims to position Quick as a supplier of advanced, value-added systems in all market segments.”
Quick said it intends to develop new product lines that serve smaller boats.
“The Sanguineti [acquisition] is a valuable opportunity for Quick, allowing the group to set up new synergies in sales and production — another step on the ambitious path toward becoming a more important player in the nautical sector,” Gianpaolo Di Dio, senior partner of Fondo Italiano and chairman of the Quick board, said in the statement.
