Derby’s Rolls-Royce has bought an Italian yacht parts manufacturer. Its German-based Power Systems subsidiary has bought Team Italia, which builds bridges for yachts, and a sister company called Onyx Marine, which builds electronic components and software for yachts.
Rolls-Royce said it meant the Power Systems business unit was now able to strengthen its position as a yacht “market leader” – and help it realise a ‘bridge to propeller’ strategy.
Team Italia systems are in service around the world on some 350 yachts of measuring 30 to 100m.
