What Nuova Rade does

Nuova Rade is an Italian designer and manufacturer of plastic accessories and equipment for the boating trade, founded in 1955 and headquartered in Busalla (Genoa). The company self-describes as the largest manufacturing facility in Europe for marine plastics, operating from an expanded Busalla campus that includes a 920 m2 warehouse added in March 2023. Its portfolio spans more than 850 stock-keeping units organized into eight major categories: hatches (portlight, deck, inspection, storage), tanks (fixed, portable, flexible, plus sensors and gauges), engine parts and accessories, plumbing and ventilation, deck equipment, mooring and fendering, fishing accessories, and spare parts.

The company's underlying technology stack is built around three plastics-processing capabilities — injection moulding, rotational moulding, and blow moulding — applied to marine-grade polymers selected for UV resistance and sea-environment endurance (e.g., ASA used in its marine horn line). Products are designed to meet the durability, safety, and aesthetic requirements of professional boat builders and end users, with dedicated supporting assets including mounting templates, manuals, and an approvals/certifications section.

Commercially, Nuova Rade operates a B2B hardware sales model. Its primary customer segment is boat builders, with secondary channels through marine equipment distributors, retailers, and boating professionals/end users. Go-to-market combines sustained presence at international marine trade shows (Zagreb Boat Show for 15+ consecutive years, BOOT Düsseldorf, METSTRADE, Genoa, Seatec, Salon Nautique Paris) with the Lalizas B2B platform and direct inquiry-driven RFQ pricing. The legal entity is Lalizas Italia s.r.l. Unipersonale, making Nuova Rade a subsidiary within the Lalizas Group and extending its distribution reach through the parent company's global marine network.
