With Impatto Impresa, the entire value chain draws benefits in terms of virtuous growth also thanks to the ISO certification of Bureau Veritas validating its financial sustainability. Through the Confirming service, the Lead Company offers suppliers the right to assign to the Bank the trade receivables deriving from invoices the suppliers claim from the company, subject to certain previously agreed economic conditions. Thus, the suppliers participating in the program will be able to benefit from the credit of the Lead Company, as the debtor of the transfer relationship to the Bank “. “This new partnership with Crédit Agricole Italia, with which we have been collaborating for years with mutual satisfaction, has been strongly supported by me with the aim of guaranteeing our production chain a solid opportunity to access credit. Impatto Impresa will provide our market with even greater stability and financial efficiency, which in turn will affect all the companies related to Palumbo Superyachts “, says Giuseppe Palumbo, Sole Director of Palumbo Superyachts. Palumbo Group, based in Naples, is a company operating since 1967. Originally set up as a carpentry and metalworking shipyard to support the local ship repair industry, over the years it has grown into an important identity for the maintenance and repair of commercial ships of any kind, carrying out important refit and naval conversion jobs. In 2008 was created the Palumbo Superyachts division that builds and markets yachts under the ISA Yachts, Columbus Yachts, Mondomarine and Extra Yachts brands. The Palumbo Group network is made up of eight shipyards, five of which are dedicated to Superyachts and represent a benchmark for a clientele of international standing. Thanks to this network of shipyards scattered through the Mediterranean (Ancona, Malta, Marseille, Naples and Savona) it is possible to provide a 360° service. Today, attention to product quality and environmental sustainability make Palumbo Superyachts highly competitive.
