Said Fabiomassimo Discoli of this year’s commitment to PIMEX by Ferretti: “We believe the Thailand market is one of the most active in South East Asia because of historical reasons. Having a yacht, like the Pershing 64’ especially transported here from Europe for the show, and available for immediate delivery, is one of the tools we are now using to become a leader in the Asia Pacific market. It is a large financial investment and a key part of our global strategy of working closely with agents like Lee Marine at a local level across all markets.
“The strategy is so simple and effective. Be here, work from the inside, take advantage of the time differences, work closely with dealers like Lee Marine and have boats available (like the Pershing 64’) for display and delivery.”
