Azimut Yachts has announced a new strategic partnership with Kora Marine, a company based in Santa Margherita Ligure, which becomes the shipyard’s exclusive dealer for northwest Italy. This agreement represents a significant step in strengthening the shipyard’s presence in a crucial area of the Italian nautical market.
Kora Marine in Santa Margherita Ligure
The choice of Kora Marine as exclusive dealer was guided by the deep experience of its founder, Francesco Montanella, who has a solid career in the nautical and automotive industry, also gained within Azimut’s sales office as Asia-Pacific Sales Manager, bringing with him an in-depth knowledge of the brand and the needs of high-end customers. Kora Marine aims to offer a high-end service that combines the excellence of boating with the tailor-made approach of high-end automotive. The new company, based in Santa Margherita Ligure, aims to raise the standards of assistance and advice for boat owners, accompanying them at every stage of their journey: from boat selection to after-sales.
The northwest: a strategic market for Azimut
Northwest Italy, which includes regions such as Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy, Liguria and Tuscany, is an area of great significance for Azimut. With an established nautical tradition, advanced infrastructure and an international clientele with high investment potential, this area represents an ideal basin for the brand’s growth. Azimut’s historic headquarters in Avigliana and the presence of numerous boats along the coast make this region the beating heart of the shipyard’s activities. With this new partnership, Azimut further consolidates its presence in the area.
“The expansion of our commercial network with the birth of Kora Marine and the signing of this dealership is a strategic step for Azimut. Northwest Italy is a key market and this collaboration will allow us to be even closer to shipowners, guaranteeing them excellent service, in line with our brand philosophy,” said Enrico Chiaussa, Chief Commercial Officer EMEA-APAC of Azimut.
