With its presence at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, Eliche Radice continues to draw a perfect circle through the autumn boat shows. For the Cinisello Balsamo-based company, this journey began at the SMM in Hamburg (September 3-6). “The German fair went very well for our company – says Claudia Radice – The Hamburg show, which takes place every two years, is the leading international exhibition for the naval industry, particularly for the working boat sector”. Fishing boats, tugboats, cargo ships, and pushers are vessels with specific needs, to which Eliche Radice responds with its extraordinarily high-quality products.
“Our products are developed based on the specific needs of our customers and are all equipped with specific certifications – emphasizes Mrs. Radice – This applies not only to work boats but also to recreational boats, where Eliche Radice is particularly competitive, especially in the segment of large hulls, including superyachts”. Furthermore, the company works with government agencies and law enforcement: essentially, Eliche Radice is able to serve the entire spectrum of the boating sector through the custom production of high-quality propellers that make a difference. “Compared to our competitors, we are the only company that can handle three different sectors in the boating industry”. For this reason, Eliche Radice does not suffer from possible downturns in orders in the yachting market, as they can rely on two other production units and a foundry. “Wherever the market moves, we are there – adds Claudia Radice – and we can do this thanks to our hundred years of history and experience”.
“We have a unique engineering and product development capability worldwide, encapsulated in specific algorithms and applied each time by our expert designers. For this reason, we are able to provide service even on propellers that are not of our own production – adds Alessandro Busetto, Sales Development Manager at Eliche Radice – We apply our know-how to any propeller, perhaps correcting a product that lacks perfect geometry and giving it that extra balance and refinement it needed”.
“A boat propeller is not just any product, to be installed like a car battery – concludes Claudia Radice – It is a specific project for each hull, requiring a precise amount of design time. It is the most important element of a boat and should not be overlooked”.
