”With this partnership we strengthen our position as the marine industry's market leader for water and flow solutions. The depth of our portfolio and our application expertise are the building blocks to create connections for life, like our more than 20-year relationship with Fincantieri Shipyards," says Julian Backes, Head of Sales Marine EMEA, GF Piping Systems. 

The extensive solutions portfolio, application know-how, and expertise in design and project execution support Fincantieri's sustainability vision, contributing to its goal of reducing environmental impact and improving naval system efficiency.

Alberto Mazzali, Sales Manager Marine Italy, GF Piping Systems, adds: “Beyond technical solutions, GF Piping Systems prioritizes customer-centric services, including tailored consultations, on-site training, and global technical support. This comprehensive approach confirms our reputation as a trusted partner in the marine industry, ensuring seamless project execution and long-term operational excellence.
