Luna Rossa and Cropelli renew partnership ahead of the 37th America's Cup

After supporting the Italian challenger in the 36th edition of the America's Cup (Auckland 2021), the Brescia-based company Cropelli srl, specialized in the production of moulds and components for the automotive, nautical, ecological and household sectors, is back alongside Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli for the America's Cup 2024, to be held in Barcelona (Spain).

The partnership signed a few days ago in Cagliari grants the Palazzolo-based company, led by Elena Cropelli, the exclusivity to produce some components of the AC75. More specifically, the parts supplied will be the wings and the rudder (the elements that allow the boat to rise above the water), and other high-tech parts.

«We strongly wanted this partnership», says Max Sirena, Skipper and Team Director of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli; «Cropelli will provide our team with its skills and machinery, not only to produce the wing, but other high-precision components as well, becoming our operating arm for the America's Cup. This partnership strengthens and celebrates an all-Italian collaboration!»

«This is a unique and very exciting experience, and very important as well, not only at a business level, but also for our professional and personal growth; from today we become fully part of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli project and we share with the team part of the journey», comments Elena Cropelli, head of Cropelli srl.
