In presenting its current group positioning at its annual Boot Dusseldorf press meeting the Sacs Tecnorib group highlighted its growing strengths both in its financial performance and the results of its three model brands.
In terms of its overall performance Andrea Loro, Head of Sales explained that Sacs Tecnorib had reached a Euro70m production value which was 14.1% up year-on-year. The number of craft built excluding the Tenders lines was 142 units which was similar to the previous year and he indicated that 70% of the order book for 2025 was sold out.
A key example of how the performance of the group is developing is that the average selling price per unit was Euro495,000 in 2024 compared with Euro420,000 in 2023.
Another development which was emphasised at Dusseldorf is the recently announced partnership with the international investment holding company NUO as underpinning the group’s continuing progress.
A particular Dusseldorf show-related aspect showing off Sacs Tecnorib positioning was the fact that it has designed and built the largest stand in Hall 5, which occupies an area of approx. 1,000 square metres, allowing a display of the main models of the Rebel, Strider, and Pirelli speedboats and tenders series.
At Dusseldorf the group held the world premiere of the Rebel 50 further enhancing the impact of this series of maxi-ribs from 40 to 60 feet opening up a new market segment. The Rebel 50G, on display at Dusseldorf is characterised by its exclusive interior layout, dominated by a living area in the forward section below deck, designed to be comfortable, functional and hospitable, while having specific peculiarities to optimise space and adapt to the marine environment.
In respect of the Sacs Strider line the Strider 13, the latest model in this series was displayed alongside the Strider 15.
In respect of the Pirelli branded models the new Pirelli Tenders line was shown with its X range, characterised by a unique styling identity, and the world premiere of a new version, the Pirelli 430X. The Christian Grande design is notable for its soft styling, with a particularly wide bow that enhances the habitability and number of seats.
For the Pirelli speedboats range the result of a collaboration with the Swedish Mannerfelt Design Team studio, was shown with the Pirelli 35 and Pirelli 42, the latter with three outboard engines for a total of 1,200hp.
To further grow its global sales volumes, Sacs Tecnorib continues to expand its world footprint with a push in the US, Middle East and Far East markets as well as consolidating its position in Europe and Australia.
The sales across the three brands were 27% Strider, 39% Rebel and 34% Pirelli speedboats. Geographically sales were as follow:
– Italy 30%
– Rest of Europe 38%
– US 15%
– Middle East and East Africa 10%
– Asia Pacific 7%
