CLP2 has become the majority shareholder of Cantiere delle Marche (CdM), with FIL BROS exiting its ownership of the shipyard following the planned acquisition.
Vasco Buonpensiere and Ennio Cecchini remain minority shareholders alongside their executive roles at the helm of the yard.
The transaction marks the conclusion of a process that was planned from CLP2’s initial entry into CdM.
In a statement, CdM expressed its appreciation to Tom Schroeder and the Fil Bros team for their years of partnership.
Future endeavours
“Their confidence in the yard, the freedom they extended to the management team, and their constant and constructive support were instrumental in allowing CdM to grow and consolidate its position as one of the world’s most respected builders of explorer and displacement yachts,” said the statement.
“We wish Tom and his team every success in their future endeavours.”
CLP2 says it now confirms its commitment to the four-year business plan that’s currently underway and proceeding ahead of projections across its key indicators.
New ownership
The yard states that the new ownership sees it with a full order book, a strengthened team, a product vision and the financial solidity to pursue its ambitions without hesitation.
CLP2 is the investment vehicle jointly held by the Loro Piana family and the Luisa Loro Piana family alongside Carisma, the family office of Giovanni Cagnoli, the entity representing the interests of Tom Schroeder and his team.
