Rodriguez Group, one of the leading players in the luxury yachting, design and building of yachts over 24m put forces together with the Cerri – Gruppo Baglietto shipyards and announced their partnership, including a worldwide exclusive of the Rodriguez Group in the distribution of the yachts.
In line with other business agreements signed since the arrival of Eric de Saintdo as chairman of the executive board, the French group is pursuing its development strategy and announces a partnership with the Cerri – Gruppo Baglietto shipyards, recently acquired by SIAS, Italy’s second largest highway maintenance and management group, quoted on the stock exchange, headed by the industrialist Beniamino Gavio.
Sharing the Same Values and Passion
The Rodriguez Group and Cerri—Gruppo Baglietto: two major players, whose successes—particularly in the Open range of yachts—have marked the luxury yachting world for years. Two prestigious names that today are bringing together their know-how, passion, and commitment to excellence round a common objective: the design and building of ranges of fast yachts that meet the highest standards in design and performance.
A Range Driven to Evolve to Meet All Desires
Starting 2012, an 86’ and a 102’ composite yachts from the Cerri – Gruppo Baglietto shipyards, are going to be filling out the range of fast sportfly yachts distributed by the Rodriguez Group.
In 2013, these yachts will grow to 90’ and 110’. They will benefit from the contribution of the most important international designers, combined with the knowledge and standards of the Rodriguez Group teams, and offer optimized capacity for even greater levels of performance.
And for 2014, a 130’ yacht has already been announced, presenting itself as one of the fastest as well as largest Opens of the world fleet.
All of these units will be distributed worldwide exclusively by the Rodriguez Group.
First-Rate Partners
Passionate about yachts, the company director Carlo Cerri created the motor yacht Cerri 28’ in 1997. Her success lies in the extreme attention paid to detail and especially her remarkable spaciousness given the size of the yacht.
After the launch of the 52’ yacht in 1999 and then the 40’ yacht in 2001, the Cerri shipyard went even further and created in 2002 the Cerri 86’ superyacht, combining sporty lines, comfort, innovations and technical performance.
The Cerri and Baglietto shipyards were recently acquired by the Italian industrialist Beniamino Gavio, president of the SIAS group (Societa Iniziative Autostradali e Servizi), Italy’s number two highway maintenance and management group (managing nearly 18% of the Italy’s highway network) and a major player in construction, transport, logistics and shipyards. Already very involved in the world of yachting, Beniamino Gavio finds in the Rodriguez Group a first-rate partner for expanding into the world of luxury yachting.
More than a Partnership, a Unique Alliance
The combination of the expertise of Cerri – Gruppo Baglietto with the Rodriguez Group, sharing the same policy of customer satisfaction, promises to make from this alliance a definitive new player in the market.
Totally involved from the design stage, the Rodriguez Group offers each project the benefit of its perfect awareness of the needs and wishes of an increasingly demanding clientele, as much in terms of design and technical performance, as in decoration and, naturally, customer support.
By combining the financial strength of the Gavio group, the expertise of the Italian shipyard Cerri, acclaimed for its experience and policy of service unique in the market, the Rodriguez Group is confirming its development strategy and role as a major player in luxury yachting.
