The engineer from Padua was appointed in recent days, in line with the decision planned at the time of the majority investment by Fondo Italiano d’Investimento and Armònia, which took place in September 2022. Michele Marzucco and his family will continue to support the Quick Group project, making a significant contribution of vision and industry knowledge.

Stefano Lenarduzzi, former General Manager of Maschio Gaspardo, brings extensive experience in senior leadership roles within industrial companies, including Sintesi and FPT Industrie, along with a solid knowledge of the marine sector.

This is how a company statement explains the appointment of Stefano Lenarduzzi: “The increasing complexity of the Group following recent acquisitions – Sanguineti, Nemo, Xenta, and U.S.-based YMS – as well as growing international exposure and an expanded product range, calls for a more structured, managerial approach to operational management in order to fully realize the project’s potential”.

The historic Romagna-based brand, founded in Piangipane (Ravenna) in 1969, is internationally recognized for its technological innovation and reliability in the production of marine components. Its offering includes a full range of stabilization technologies — gyroscopic stabilizers, intruders, and fins — the renowned steering and navigation control systems by Xenta, the hydraulic and electric handling systems by Sanguineti, and superyacht doors and portholes by Nemo. With approximately €100 million in revenue, QuickGroup is today one of the leading players in the marine components industry.

Michele Marzucco (in the picture together with Stefano Lenarduzzi) who will remain on the Group’s Board of Directors, stated: “We are very pleased to have brought Stefano on board, as he will bring a crucial contribution of expertise, managerial skills, and enthusiasm, strengthening the team in view of future challenges”.

Stefano Lenarduzzi, the new CEO of the Group, stated: “I have taken on this new challenge with great enthusiasm and passion, recognizing the potential of the project and the real possibility of strengthening the Group’s leadership in components with a higher technological content”.

“As we envisioned at the beginning of our journey with the Marzucco family – said Gianpaolo Di Dio, Chairman of the Quick Group and Senior Partner of Fondo Italiano d’Investimento – the increased complexity of the Group calls for renewed governance and a gradual shift toward a more managerial operational structure. Stefano is the right person to lead this transformation, thanks to his skills and enthusiasm. We are grateful to Michele, who has led the Group until now, for his work and his vision, which have enabled the company to remain a champion of technological innovation. We are confident that the Marzucco family will continue to support the project with their characteristic passion and enthusiasm”.
