Rolls-Royce acquires bridge specialist Team Italia

Rolls-Royce Power Systems, the owner of German marine engine builder mtu, has acquired Team Italia, an Italian group specialising in yacht bridges and marine navigation and automation systems, as well as its subsidiary brand Onyx Marine. 

Through the acquisition, the Rolls-Royce Power Systems business unit aims to strengthen its position within the yachting industry by expanding its existing mtu product portfolio. The deal will also grant the firm access to Team Italia's existing clientele, which spans more than 350 yachts ranging from 30 to 100 metres in length.
