A pinch of Pomellato in Locman watches. The Italian timepiece company sees the entry among its partners of Giuseppe Rabolini and Andrea Morante, respectively founder and CEO of Pomellato. Rabolini and Morante acquire 11.5% of the watchmaking company based on the Island of Elba. After all, the two companies know each other well. The current collection of Dodo watches (a brand of the Pomellato group), for example, was produced by Locman. The Tuscan company, founded in 1986 by the current president and majority shareholder, Marco Mantovani, who leads it together with Peppino Pea, sells all over the world through single-brand stores and official dealers. «From today in the social structure, together with me and Peppino Pea, my historical partner, there will be two friends who I respect greatly and who will share strategies and objectives, ensuring the company greater strength and stability. These are men with great industrial experience who will certainly help us on the path of growth in an increasingly attentive and selective global market”, commented Mantovani.
Locman aims to develop a network of single-brand stores, especially abroad, and an expansion policy based on direct presence in the main markets through owned structures. In this path, the possibility of a stock exchange listing will also be evaluated in the medium term.
