My family business is the leader in the spare parts market for trucks and trailer in Italy. In the recents years , many unrelated business were added to the company portfolio.
I have classified it as a family business because my father runs the company and my mother is the CFO.
My grandfather was an agent and sold spare parts for trucks and trailer. So , my father decided to start helping him and then he opened the first company in Naples. Now, Maurelli Group has 36 points of sales throughout the Italian peninsula and one in Malta.
Although the company has grown a lot in the past years, the entrepreneur still personally leads the company operations . His proactive vision and flair enable him to anticipate the market trends and be the leader in the industry. Furthermore, his ability to live with risk uncertainty gives the company the opportunity to diversify in other sectors that are complementary to the core business or even completely unrelated .
Thank you Giulia for sharing your own family business. I found it very interesting and I can clearly see that you have personal experience in it!
