Hertz Marine won Ibex Innovation Award

A new milestone was reached on Tuesday, Oct. 3, in Tampa, Florida, at the world's most important exhibition for marine components: the Ibex (The International Boatbuilders' exhibition & conference). Technical director Luca Girotti, Newly Rossetti (product development), and Angelo Reschini (marine division sales manager) represented the Group.
"The United States covers more than 80 percent of the international marine market," comments Marco Pantaleone, Hertz Marine product manager. "And the fact that Ibex's top-level technical committee awarded us the Innovation Award for standing out among so many companies with the Hertz Tower Speaker HTX 8H (for the entertainment category), also considered the most innovative product of the year, is a source of great pride.

"The latest awards make us look even more toward the future. They also reward our expansion strategy," Marco adds, "which has not succumbed to the post-pandemic, quite the contrary.
