New corporate structure for Unopiù

Unopiù S.p.A. – an international reference point in the production and distribution of design furniture and outdoor accessories – announces the renewed corporate structure, which now includes the MSC Group, a leading global operator in shipping and logistics; Claudio Costamagna, the historical partners, and therefore the Marzocco Family, well-known Monegasque builders, and Flavio Briatore, joined by Danilo Iervolino, a successful entrepreneur.
The share reorganisation is aimed at launching an important development plan for the company under the strategic supervision of a Board of Directors made up of Claudio Costamagna (Chairman), Beniamino Garofalo (Managing Director) and directors Lamberto Tacoli, Stefano Uliana, Luca Marzocco and, by appointment of the MSC Group, Simone Gardella.

Unopiù’s new management presents an ambitious five-year plan with the aim of reaffirming its leading position in the outdoor furniture sector and consolidating its relationship with the end consumer.
Priority objective for Unopiù will be geographical expansion, in the Middle East and the United States in particular.

In order to reach these medium-term targets, the focus will be on selected initiatives related to product development, the care of a coordinated image on all company touchpoints, the restyling of the current monobrand shops, and the opening of new shops that will allow the presidium of new strategic markets. Furthermore, great attention will be devoted to the Contract segment at an international level, exploiting the characteristic Italian hospitality as a starting point for strategic and commercial development.

Says new CEO Beniamino Garofalo “We have a clear vision for the future of Unopiù. We believe that with the new team and the new management we can realise a global project and give a decisive acceleration to Unopiù’s growth path. We will address cross-cutting themes such as multichannel and digitalisation, seeking to become a major partner for all market players. Multichannel will be at the centre of our strategies“.

The new President Claudio Costamagna says: “Always attentive to the excellence of Made in Italy, Unopiù has been a pioneer of Italian outdoor design. I believe in the development potential of the Unopiù brand in a sector that has shown great dynamism in recent years. The company, after a troubled period, with this new, solid shareholding and management structure will be able to realise its full potential“.
