WIDER AND OCEANWORLD: LAUNCHING A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FOR GLOBAL GROWTH
The entry of OceanWorld Group into Wider’s share capital marks the beginning of a new phase of international expansion.
Wider announces a significant step forward in its development path. Following a strategic agreement, OceanWorld Group has officially joined the shareholding structure of the holding company Wider Luxembourg S.à r.l.; the signed agreement provides for an already planned gradual entry, to be completed by the end of 2026.
The transaction, finalized through a capital increase entirely subscribed by OceanWorld, is aimed at providing new financial resources to support the company’s ambitious industrial plan, geared towards increasing the brand’s internationalization and expanding the product range.
With the confirmed support of the existing shareholder and the contribution of the new investor, Wider is now positioned with an even more solid capital structure, ready to face future challenges.
Marcello Maggi, board member of Wider Luxembourg S.à r.l., commented: “The entry of OceanWorld into Wider’s capital is a fundamental moment that certifies the value of our vision, as it is not just a financial partnership, but a synergy of intents. OceanWorld is a partner that firmly believes in our growth path and the uniqueness of our products”.
Lydia Pascarelli, CEO of OceanWorld Group, stated: “We are excited to join Wider and contribute to its ongoing growth. We have closely followed the shipyard’s evolution and look forward to supporting the brand’s global development. We believe Wider is well positioned to become a benchmark in luxury
yachting.”
The industrial plan includes the further development of the range and the expansion of the global sales network, keeping firm roots in the Marche region while looking towards the main global yachting hubs.
The agreement is part of a collaborative journey between Wider and OceanWorld that began in 202 with the presentation, at the Monaco Yacht Show, of the Oceans Yachts brand and Oceans 47, the first model developed in collaboration with Vripack Design Studio.
