Marine product systems firm Vetus has expanded its sales force with two new appointments in Italy and Spain.

Davide Baldereschi has been appointed branch manager at VETUS’s Montelupo office, where he will be the main point of contact for sales activities in the country, ’with a specific remit to support continued sales growth and initiate new partnerships in Italy’s thriving OEM market’.

Joana Franco has joined the company’s Barcelona office, and will manage sales accounts for Spain and Portugal. A qualified naval architect, ocean engineer and open water diver, Franco has experience in monitoring and supervising ship repair and design projects. 

“We are still seeing high demand for boating equipment, as more people discover the enjoyment of being out on the water,” said Thijs Boegheim, sales director EMEA. We are, therefore, delighted to confirm these new appointments which will further enhance our connection and service for customers in Italy, Spain and Portugal.”

VETUS makes complete marine systems including engines, electric propulsion, generators, anchoring and mooring products, bow thrusters and control panels.
