A business model that breaks the mold

Led by Federico Palazzari, Nemo Group’s transformation is rooted in an Italian industrial tradition that prioritizes innovation while staying true to its origins. After consolidating its leadership with the acquisitions of ILTI Luce in 2020 and Reggiani in 2023, Nemo Group stands as an example of entrepreneurship that blends design, business, and culture. This approach combines a deep understanding of the past with a forward-thinking vision to tackle a complex global market.

“Our philosophy is based on taking care of companies. We aim to enhance their historical and cultural heritage, ensuring a sustainable and coherent future. Only by doing so can we guarantee them a long life, preserving their identity while strengthening their potential,” says Federico Palazzari.

Sustainable growth and cultural vision

The focus on long-term sustainability drives every strategic decision at Nemo Group. This vision translates into a business model based on a thorough market analysis, combining cultural sensitivity with an innovative approach. Each company in the group contributes with its own unique characteristics, creating an integrated system that values diversity, allowing the company to overcome the traditional limits of the sector.

Nemo Group’s strategy challenges the status quo of the design industry by not only focusing on its target markets but also defining a broader, more complex vision. This approach provides the group with a competitive edge, capable of influencing the evolution of global industrial design.
