EFFEBI - THE ITALIAN SHIPYARD - customized quality vessels Headquartered in Tuscany, Italy, Effebi is run by the Balducci family since 1983. Today it is an undisputed global name in the shipping sector known for its flexible approach to customer requests matched with 30 years of experience.

The company specializes in 15-50 meter boats, with the EFFEBI brand representing the commercial and patrol craft sector and the renowned Mangusta and Mangusta Oceano brand producing luxury maxi open yachts and displacement yachts (the Mangusta 165’ is today the fastest maxi open in the world).

Effebi works out of a number of different premises in the Massarosa, Massa and Carrara-Avenza area, covering a total of around 72.500 square meters (indoor and outdoor). All the production facilities are fitted with specific state-of-the-art equipment and systems which ensure products are always of the highest quality.

“We want to retain the ethics of a family business, and that means pursuing step-by-step growth. Everything is done in-house, from design to composite lamination and fitting of electrical plant. It is important that we remain lean, organic and flexible, so we can satisfy the individual requirements of different clients.” says Managing Director Katia Balducci. The company prefers to treat each specific vessel as a new project in itself rather than taking a factory line approach and producing standardized vessel types.

A highly specialized team of Effebi experts is always on hand to advise clients on the best technical solutions for their project and to guarantee the quality during every stage of the process from the design to the finished product through the various stages of construction: mock-up engineering, mould manufacturing, lamination, infusion, assembling and final fairing. The entire production process passes through a tight and experienced quality control to ensure the highest standards required by the International Classification Authorities and above all to match the customer satisfaction in observing a policy of total environmental respect.

Effebi has all along invested in research to improve the environment and promote safety in the workplace. Effebi is recognized and approved by all Shipping Registers (RINA, Lloyd’s Register, Bureau Veritas, American Bureau of Shipping, Norske Veritas and KKK-Japan) and complies its production with Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance. Effebi was awarded with the certifications ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.
