The Gattinoni Group is aiming for a turnover of one billion by 2028

The Gattinoni Group has confirmed its target of achieving a turnover of one billion euros by 2028, whilst “an IPO is not on the cards, but we are ready to open up the company to financial or industrial investors if they bring added value. “Partnerships are a better way to accelerate our growth,” said Franco Gattinoni, founder and chairman of the Group, which operates in the travel, business travel and events sectors and employs over 950 people.

Revenue in 2025 reached 753.6 million, up 8.1% on the previous year, whilst the value of production stood at 326 million (+11%). Double-digit growth was also recorded for EBITDA and net profit: the former stood at 17.2 million (+14.6%), whilst net profit reached 9.6 million, an increase of over 30%. In the coming months, a new office will open in Rome to support the Group’s three business segments: business travel, holidays and events in central and southern Italia. “We are poised for significant growth, both organically and through acquisitions.” Investments are also being made in digitalisation, with over 2 million allocated during the year to enhance service quality and the ability to respond to market changes.

The Middle Eastern market, starting with Saudi Arabia and the neighbouring Emirates, remains a key market for the Group. “We have started working on events with clients in Dubai and Saudi Arabia and we want to establish a strong presence in this rapidly growing market,” continues the chairman. “Before the war, we were working on a major project for a Saudi client. The project involved a huge event to be held first in Brazil and then in the US, with three further stages planned. This project is currently on hold pending the signing of a peace agreement.” Alongside the events division – which in 2025 generated a turnover of 96 million, up 58 per cent thanks to the Group’s acquisition of H&A, an Italian agency specialising in the design and delivery of experiential events and incentive travel – there is the promotion of ‘Italia as a destination’ to international clients in the luxury segment. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions have virtually brought sales of holiday packages to a standstill. “March, April and May were in the red; only in the last week (last week, ed.) did we see a positive figure,” notes Gattinoni. “Today, going on holiday costs less than it did six months ago; prices are very competitive, so we’re hoping for last-minute bookings.”
