In a constantly evolving global economic landscape, characterised by geopolitical uncertainties and changes in supply chains, businesses must broaden their horizons to remain competitive. Manni Group, the Verona-based Company, is reinforcing its international presence through strategic acquisitions and innovative collaborations.
During an event organised by Prader Bank, the first independent private bank in Trentino-Alto Adige, Manni Group CEO, Enrico Frizzera, highlighted the importance of vision and creativity in the new economic scenario: “It is no longer enough to focus solely on internationalisation, research and development, and sustainability. Establishing qualified partnerships is also crucial to staying competitive“, Frizzera stated.
Manni Group is solidifying its international expansion through various strategic collaborations. One of the most significant is its recent joint venture with the Marcegaglia Group, generating a combined turnover of approximately €500 million. However, the Verona-based group is not stopping there. Among the most notable is the agreement between Manni Green Tech and Saint-Gobain Italia, a leader in the production of innovative materials for sustainable construction. The two companies have developed InnovaLight X, a new construction system that combines efficiency and sustainability. The frame, made of up to 80% recycled galvanised light steel, is provided by Manni Green Tech, while Saint-Gobain contributes with fibre-reinforced gypsum boards and special thermal-acoustic insulating panels. Another strategic partnership has been established with Xlam Dolomiti, a company based in Castelnuovo di Trento specialising in wooden building construction. Through this collaboration, Manni Group supplies insulating panels and structural steel reinforcements, further expanding its presence in the sustainable construction sector.
Manni Group’s internationalisation is not confined to European collaborations. The company is in the final stages of a major acquisition in the United States. Manni Group President, Francesco Manni, had previously outlined a €30 million investment plan for 2024, allocated to the steel unit for plant modernisation and the international consolidation of Manni Sipre. This initiative aims to further strengthen the company’s position in the global market, ensuring competitiveness and innovation in the steel and sustainable construction sectors.
