Azimut Yachts adds distributorship in Vietnam
(VOV)-Italian luxury boat builder Azimut Yachts has announced plans to launch a distributorship in Vietnam, reports local newspaper Tri Thuc Tre.
The news comes on the heels of last year’s announcement that the company was reformulating its Asian distribution strategy to enter the Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore markets.

For the prior 28 years Simpson Marine had been the exclusive dealer for much of Asia for Azimut Yachts, a partnership that saw both companies grow and prosper. The two companies have now parted ways due to changing business strategies.
Azimut Yachts is focused on a new single-brand partnership strategy as opposed to Simpson Marine’s strategy of growing as a multi-brand dealer, said a company spokesperson.

He said with the opening of Azimut Yachts distributorships throughout Asia and now in Vietnam, the company will offer sales and service with partners fully committed and focused on Azimut Yachts only.
The Italian shipyard he underscored, will provide all-around assistance from the purchase of a yacht to dedicated after sales services, including the offering of advice and assistance on servicing, berthing, licensing and registration.
