Global motor yacht builder operating six shipyards across Europe, Americas, Middle East, and Asia
Azimut|Benetti Group manufactures luxury motor yachts and megayachts through two primary brands, operating six shipyards with over 2,000 employees and 138 service points worldwide. Current engineering focus centers on MES implementation, APS-MES-ERP integration, and predictive maintenance—indicating a shift from manual production scheduling toward data-driven operations. The hiring velocity has slowed (7 roles in the last 30 days vs. 25 total active), with manufacturing and engineering teams dominating the pipeline, suggesting consolidation rather than expansion.
