Sacs Tecnorib, the Italian RIB manufacturer and official licensee of the Pirelli and PZero brands of inflatable boats, has presented its latest growth figures, confirming what it says is its “world leadership position” in the maxirib industry. The company is seeing great success for its new Rebel 50 G, the latest addition to its range of boats from 40ft-55ft, heralding an increase in sales volumes for 2024.

Sacs Tecnorib recorded annual revenue growth of 25% over the past three years, with turnover of €59.3m in 2023 on the sale of 141 units of the Sacs, Pirelli and Rebel brands, excluding the Pirelli tender range, the company says.

A significant figure is the order backlog for 2024, which also foresees significant growth in sales for this year. The production area includes three sites with almost 20,000m² of covered space, thanks in part to a major investment in expanding the Roncello boatyard with a plant dedicated to the construction of boats over 45ft that will be inaugurated in spring this year.

“This growth process is the result of a long-term vision that has involved bold decisions and strategic investments with people and the company at the centre, with a significant ESG – Environmental, Social and Governance – approach. Sustainability also means people, production processes, supplies, and the development of existing products and new ranges,” says Matteo Magni, chairman of Sacs Tecnorib.

“We are proud of these figures achieved, thanks to a broad product range and a strengthened distribution network that now includes 67 sales outlets worldwide,” adds Gianni De Bonis, CEO. “The new X tender line, which joins the J, the collaboration with Mansory that will give rise to a custom edition of Pirelli 42, together with the Strider and Pirelli Speedboats lines, allow us to meet the needs of a wide range of customers with exclusive maxiribs and tenders from 2.5 up to 18 metres, in addition to Rebel with boats with RIB family feeling but yacht characteristics.”
