"The attention paid to design, to the purity of each line, to creativity and technological development, has always been part of Sessa Marine's fundamental values - remarks Massimo Radice, the company vice-president and project manager - "Opening a centre dedicated to the study of boats and the production of new moulds is wholly in line with the objectives regarding excellence and innovation that Sessa has always set itself".

The structure represents a 4 M? investment spread over two years and covers an area of 1500 m2. It contains a 30 work station research department (including 12 CAD 3D work stations) and a building devoted to producing new moulds.

"This investment represents the first step of an ambitious develoment strategy which will rank Sessa Marine as the reference in terms of innovation and design within the circle of yacht constructors". - adds Massimo Radice.

The Sessa R&D centre is equipped with an automatic cutting machine ordered by CAD CAM technology for the manufacture of large dimension moulds.

1:1 scale prototypes of the new projects will be manufactured, from which the moulds will be produced at the R&D centre. Stratification, polishing and finishing work on the moulds; critical phases for ensuring the perfect quality of the finished product, will continue to be handled by the shipyard.

The first model to be released from Sessa's R&D centre will be the C65, closely followed by two Flybridge models and the new Open, which will complete the Sessa Marine YACHT LINE range.

To create a modern, calm and luminous work atmosphere, conducive to creativity, the brand's designer Christian Grande has been entrusted with the layout of the centre. Of particular note is his arrangement of the superb furniture line signed by the French architect Jean Nouvel.
