Rimini, December 19th, 2011
With the Certificate of Incorporation finally signed, the EXO Group for Outdoor Excellence is born in Rimini.
The charter members of the Group include the most renowned Italian companies (*), committed to designing, producing and commercialising "pergolas" and "outdoor awnings", who join their forces on a synergic initiative. This choice aims at exalting Outdoor Excellence as well as a specialized "Made in Italy" beyond compare that considers quality of services and products as an inspiration for the initiatives and activities of the Group.
EXO looks at the crucial role of experience as a conclusive element that becomes a pattern of behaviour and guideline for the future in order to match up to the many challenges of the global market that also Italian companies have to face. A definitely innovative pattern that originates in the extraordinary culture, competence and investments that brought member companies to lead the Italian and world market. A pattern open to the future and aiming at making it better. The activity core lies in local rooting and in promoting a culture with more than half a century. This strengthens the Group will to create a successful future in the name of which all the members commit to cooperate, bring ideas in and give their full support. It is with this spirit that the first Members' Assembly has elected as its president Mr. Gianmarco Biagi (Corradi S.p.A.), engineer, who will be aided by two vice-presidents, Mr. Gianfranco Bellin (Gibus srl) and Mr. Antonio Frigerio (Frigerio Tende srl). The tree chart is completed by the Treasury office held by Mr. Aristide Radaelli (Brianzatende S.p.A.), while other specific roles for the group meaningful activities are expected in the next few weeks. "The Group offers an unprecedented synergy among the companies of this field, who are able to look far beyond the usual healthy market competition. Supporting the Group with their own experience, competence and history shows their will to improve the rules of a business pattern that sometimes steals energy from growth and that fails to exalt the real excellence of an entire industrial sector. That is why I am particularly glad to be its President", says Gianmarco Biagi, Executive Director of Corradi S.p.A. and President of EXO. "It is an ambitious challenge due to the uniqueness of our project, but the enthusiasm and the constructive spirit immediately shown by member companies are a solid basis for success."
