History

The origins of the Aicon Group date back to 1993; at that time the initial activity was concentrated primarily on the design and supply of turnkey interior design solutions. After having specialized in furniture for the nautical sector, in 1996 operations were moved to Giammoro (ME). In 1999, the experience gained, the results achieved, and the growth outlook in the nautical sector lead the founder to enter the sector as a motor yacht builder. It was at that moment that the design of the first model, the Aicon 56 Fly was started. It was then presented at the Genoa Boat Show 2001, where the following year it was awarded the prestigious Festival de La Plaisance of Cannes World Yachts Trophy as the best yacht in the flybridgeFlybridgeImbarcazione e nave da diporto planante a motore entrobordo cabinata con ponte superiore collocato sul cielo della tuga, dove è posizionata una seconda postazione di guida (la principale si trova all'interno del cabinato). segment (40-60 ft.).

In the meantime, the company, thanks also to the success met by both models of the new range, continued its activity of sales expansion, expanding its distribution network to 13 dealers 4 operating in Italy, 6 in the remaining EMEAEMEAAcronimo inglese di Europe, Middle East, Africa (Europa, Medio Oriente e Africa). area, 2 in the markets of the Americas and 1 on the Asian market.
