Selva Marine Nordic AB

What Selva Marine Nordic AB does

Selva Marine Nordic AB is a Swedish-domiciled regional market entity for the Italian marine manufacturer Selva S.p.A., which is headquartered in Tirano, Sondrio, Italy. The parent company manufactures outboard motors and boats, with a product portfolio spanning 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards, sport-tuned 4-stroke XSR motors, rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), and fiberglass (GRP) boats — often sold as integrated boat-plus-motor packages. The business is anchored in Italian design heritage and positions its motors for power, reliability, and "distinctive character," with the XSR line targeting performance-oriented enthusiasts. Distribution is executed through a global authorized dealer and sales point network covering 45+ countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and South America; the Nordic AB entity coordinates the Northern European dealer footprint, including at least ten named Swedish marine dealers. Selva S.p.A. holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certifications. Revenue is generated through hardware sales to dealers and end customers; pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers are directed to download catalogs or contact authorized dealers. Marketing combines country-localized websites, social media, email newsletters, and participation in boat shows (e.g., the 65th Genoa Boat Show). No venture capital, private equity, or public ownership was identified; the parent appears to be a privately-held, founder/management-controlled Italian S.p.A. with regional subsidiaries such as Selva Marine Nordic AB.
