Azimut founder Paolo Vitelli, President of the Azimut Benetti Group, addressed a few words of welcome to members of the press from all over the world and had his daughter present the latest annual report. Giovanna Vitelli, Vice President of the Group, put the total of goods produced (261 yachts sold) and services at 850 million euros. An 18 per cent increase compared to the previous year. The operating profit was 50 million euros shortly before the 50th anniversary. From 2019 to 2021, Azimut-Benetti plans to invest 28 million euros in new production facilities and 94 million euros in 17 new models. Benetti accounts for seven of these, including the Oasis series and a whole ten on azimuth. The new flagship of the Magellano series, the Grande 25 Metri, once again designed by Ken Freivokh, deserves special mention:
