Aschenez Holding, owner of the Invictus Yacht, Capoforte and Marcopolo brands, has acquired 100% of Aschenez Srl.
The organisation has increased its holding, purchasing the remaining 40% stake to become the sole company shareholder.
“The acquisition of full ownership enables a fully integrated management of the shipyards and the Group’s brands,” explained Rosario Alcaro, Group CEO.
“This strengthens the Aschenez identity, creating the ideal conditions for coherent and synergistic development across different nautical segments.
“Our goal is to consolidate our competitive position and expand through productive and commercial partnerships, with a particular focus on the 30-to-60-foot segment.”
The acquisition of full ownership enables a fully integrated management of the shipyards and the Group’s brands.
Rosario Alcaro
The Group was founded by Italian entrepreneur Rosario Alcaro with the aim of developing a highly integrated nautical hub in Southern Italy, combining distinctive design, innovation, and direct control over production.
The Invictus Yacht range consists of 13 models from 28ft to 55ft; Capoforte has 12 models from 19ft to 28ft; while Marcopolo Adventure Yachts offers two models measuring 10 and 12 metres.”
Production takes place across the Borgia shipyard near Catanzaro, Italy and the 3AF Shipyard in Villafranca Tirrena in Messina, Italy, which is dedicated to the Marcopolo Adventure Yachts range.
Advanced infusion technologies
The shipyards cover around 20,000sqm and employ 200 people with the brands supported by more than 50 dealers worldwide.
Around 90% of manufacturing processes are carried out in-house, from fibreglass and carbon fibre lamination to carpentry, painting, assembly and final testing, alongside electrical systems and logistics departments, a dedicated upholstery area and the Atelier – the shipyard’s creative hub for development and boat customisation.
Vessels are constructed using advanced infusion technologies and extensive use of carbon fibre.
The Group is also introducing structural honeycomb panels for the interior bulkheads instead of traditional wood, with plans underway to eliminate wood from internal structures, replacing it with high-density polyurethane impregnated with resin for greater strength and durability.
