Last year Bergamo-based Besenzoni created the UNICA brand of ‘unique’ yacht accessories to better focus on the expanding market for bespoke superyachts – an effort
that appears to have paid off. Thanks to new technical and design solutions, the company closed 2019 with around €18m in turnover.
“One of the new products we’re launching this year is the automatic Flush door,” says Fiorella Besenzoni, marketing director at the family-run firm. “It was developed, like all our other
products, after a detailed assessment of the customer’s needs while using tailormade solutions that meet the technical and safety requirements of the shipyard during installation.”

Besenzoni’s automatic Flush door has a painted steel main frame with moving door panels made from painted aluminium. The opening and closing mechanism is electric, while the sliding door is manual. When the door opens, it automatically locks into position. A control panel with backlit buttons can be customised in terms of the size and number of panels required.
CUSTOMISATION IS KEY
“Our production flexibility and customisation capabilities allow us to work on all types and sizes of boats, paying attention to the research and development of new materials,” says Besenzoni. Going forward, one of the company’s main priorities is to provide customers with completely bespoke products for individual boats, especially the larger ones.
“Passarelles are and will be the heart of our investment in 2020, together with a new range of helm seats that are dedicated to speed while still maintaining the comfort and design that characterise us.”
