The focus of the management and the entire MARR organization on the implementation of the Guidelines (already released during the presentation of the results for the first quarter of 2025) to support growth and improve profitability has been confirmed, maintaining a high level of focus on the management of the levels of absorption of the working capital without limiting the ability to leverage commercial opportunities arising from targeted procurement strategies.
The fields of intervention of the Guidelines regarding operating efficiency include the start-up of a process of insourcing internal handling activities through the company MARR Service S.r.l. (fully owned by MARR S.p.A.), implemented with the aim of taking direct control of the activities and enhancing service quality. The insourcing process currently involves 15 MARR S.p.A. distribution units and 760 employees.
The work on the new distribution unit in Puglia is also progressing on schedule; this facility will be operated under lease and will replace the current MARR Puglia facility with a more efficient one, with an operating capacity capable of grasping the opportunities for expansion in an area with a strong tourist vocation.
