The new direct management structure will be operative from January 2004.

Andrea Castronovo, formerly Sales Director in Maranello, will be General Manager. Working under him in the Sales Department for Maserati will be Matteo Camesasca, and for Ferrari, Edwin Fenech. Daniel Marin, President of Charles Pozzi S.A., will have the same role in the new operation.

Founded by the French driver, the company has been an official importer since the 1960s. It has 16 sales points overseen by dealerships in Paris and Lyon. France is one of Ferrari and Maserati's traditional markets and absorbs 5% of the two marques' production.
