/ The Attractions Manufacturers group: a new entity within Confartigianato trade association /

The Attractions Manufacturers group, a cluster of companies that operate in the production of equipment and machinery for entertainment and amusement activities, was established a few weeks ago as part of Confartigianato, the association that represents artisans and small businesses in Italy.

The group represents a wholly Italian excellence that in 2023 achieved 261 million euros in exports (the highest value among the countries of the European Union and with a growth rate of 31.1% compared to 2022). Attractions Manufacturers stand out for manufacturing quality, safety, and reliability of their products, features that make them competitive worldwide.

The leadership group is composed of entrepreneurs Erika Tessarolo (Show Games, Brescia), spokesperson, Marco Losio (Acquapark, Brescia), Tiziano Tredese (Elmac II, Padova), Michele Frison (SBF VISA Group, Padova), and Fulvio De Carlo (Sela Group, Forlì).

“One of our main goals,” states spokesperson Erika Tessarolo, “is the relaunch of a niche sector, known to everyone but still too little valued and protected. Goals range from the support for accessing multiple certifications, to solving the issue of identification codes to the revision of approval criteria for games whose current release process does not meet the quality of the products made. For this reasons, we will immediately request a meeting with the competent Ministry. We will also commit to identifying targeted incentives to support participation in international trade shows. Our products represent the best of Made in Italy, and supporting their presence in foreign markets is equivalent to exporting quality craftsmanship and the good name of Italy abroad. “We are certain,” emphasizes Erika Tessarolo, “that this initiative will make entrepreneurs and companies in this composite sector, feel closer and more united. Finally, for the first time in Italy, within Confartigianato, the Attractions Manufacturers have the chance to identify themselves as a real group, with different specializations that carry forward their own mission but which is shared as it is tied to amusement.”
