From aerospace to boating. The Recchia group, coming precisely from the aerospace sector, is focusing on an industrial project that centers on the dual use of the know-how the company has developed in advanced materials and technological innovation: the goal is to transfer this industrial heritage into inflatable boats. Just months after joining the Gommoni Callegari group, Recchia has also acquired Geniuss, a company specialized in the production of custom tenders with high technological content. And the development plan does not stop here, as the buyer is preparing to invest 4 million euros (which also includes the purchase of the brand) over three years, and to increase staff up to 100 employees.

Furthermore, explains Jacopo Recchia, CEO of Gommoni Callegari, over a five-year period, the industrial plan, “of which the operation with Geniuss represents a central piece, aims to triple production capacity in the high-end tender segment, increasing from the current 100 units per year to over 300. The operation strengthens the positioning of the boating division in a high value-added market and fits into the growth path started with the entry into the Recchia group.”
Custom tenders for boats between 20 and 100 meters
The project, the CEO further clarifies, includes investments “in the development of new products, in the industrialization of processes, and in commercial expansion in the main international markets. A significant portion of resources will be allocated to the design of custom tenders intended for the main yacht and maxi-yacht builders, with solutions dedicated to boats between 20 and 100 meters. The distinctive element of the strategy, moreover, is the transfer, into the boating sector, of technologies developed in the aerospace field.”

Geniuss owes its name to the system that characterizes its production: a device that allows the outboard motor to slide inside the tender, eliminating the footprint of the leg and improving weight distribution on the mother vessel. The solution, available in manual or electro-hydraulic versions, also allows storing larger tenders in smaller spaces.
“Towards increasingly lighter and sustainable solutions”
Claudia De Sanctis, administrator of Geniuss, will remain at the helm of the company, supporting the Callegari management. Meanwhile, the company’s production, currently 50-60 units per year, will be centralized in the Callegari plants in Anagni, with the goal of transferring the group’s engineering know-how to the line. The brand will become part of Callegari, while maintaining its commercial autonomy. Among the planned developments, a new line of carbon tenders made with infusion processes to reduce weight, and the possible introduction of electric propulsion.
