Quick Group is making waves in the US market. Headquartered in Italy, Quick has established its reputation in the yacht and superyacht industries by partnering with premier boatbuilders globally. With the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show as the backdrop, Quick USA is excited to introduce three newly acquired brands – Sanguineti, Nemo, and Xenta – enhancing its product portfolio and commitment to the American boating community.
Spotlighting the Brands Each of the three brands offers unique contributions to the marine industry. Xenta is dedicated to improving onboard maneuverability with its cutting-edge control systems. Nemo specializes in essential products like portlights and hatches, recently unveiling the first-ever pantograph door featuring an active compressed-air seal. Meanwhile, Sanguineti boasts over 50 years of artisanal craftsmanship, providing bespoke hydraulic and electric motion systems, including gangways and ladders – all tailored to meet the specific needs of yacht owners or shipyards.

Marco Santoro, Managing Director of Quick USA, notes, “Sanguineti, Xenta, and Nemo deliver customized production solutions that are distinctly relevant to the yacht and superyacht markets. Sanguineti products are 99% tailor-made, providing a unique offering that sets us apart from competitors."
Santoro emphasizes that the quality of Sanguineti and Nemo is unparalleled in the US market, and Xenta stands alone by offering innovative solutions for vessels with traditional shaft-line propulsion. “Xenta can customize steering systems in a manner akin to Brembo’s impact on the automotive world," he explains, considering various technical aspects like vessel size and operational speed.
Customized Solutions for American Clients The three brands are not only launching products but also tailoring them for American tastes. Santoro reveals, “Nemo is modifying some of its top-selling products for the US market. Similarly, Xenta is developing a specific offering for sportfishers, allowing owners to navigate effortlessly in any conditions.”
Enhanced Service and Support Quick Group is also boosting its regional maintenance and support capabilities, particularly with the recent acquisition of Florida-based Yachting Marine Service (YMS), which specializes in superyacht service. “Our entire after-sales team is trained not just for initial installations but also for scheduled maintenance and warranty services,” adds Santoro, ensuring top-notch customer satisfaction.
Strategic Expansion The launch of Sanguineti, Nemo, and Xenta represents a significant step in Quick Group's strategic growth, offering a comprehensive suite of products for OEMs and yacht owners alike. Michele Marzucco, CEO of Quick Group, states, “This expansion allows us to cater to a broader range of vessels, including larger yachts, while enhancing our position as a one-stop shop for marine equipment.”
Marzucco emphasizes the importance of the US market, which has been integral to Quick's journey since the establishment of Quick USA in 2006. “We are poised for a new era, backed by our experienced sales and support teams,” he concludes. “With the introduction of these exceptional brands alongside our existing offerings, we are better equipped than ever to serve both American and European customers.”
Quick USA looks forward to redefining the American boating experience by bringing bold Italian innovations and a commitment to quality and service to the forefront of the industry, ensuring they remain a key player in the market for years to come.
