Camping Trade World – Issue 08

COMPANY PROFILE SCALABROS
Italian entrepreneurs – they
have seem their sales levels
return to similar figures in
that of the first third of 2019.
When all your business has
ever known is a world in crisis,
it pays to have strong values.
Benedetto explains: “Our values
are: Customers orientation: we
think that to be successful we
need to sell to the customers
what they need, not what we
have. So we are very flexible and
willing to take the challenges
the customers’ require. Quality
of course is very important, so
since 2015 we are ISO certified.
Flexibility is a must, and we
try to get it through a good
organisation. We also believe
that we can’t be successful
without our team, so we try
to give the best attention and
satisfaction we can to our staff.”
Scalabros has slowly started
to grab the attention in the
RV market with smart and
innovative products to go
alongside this flexibility. Its
roller blinds have been wellreceived,
as have its awnings and
other RV components.
BEST IS YET TO COME
On the subject of the future,
Benedetto has high hopes.
“We believe that our biggest
success is probably yet to come
but it could be thanks to the
incorporation of our North
American branch in 2020. In
fact, due to the Covid situation,
we only started its real activities
in August 2021, and we see
great potential coming from
there, especially from the luxury
RVs.” The company has solid
plans to increase the sales of its
van manual roller awning and
hopes to soon develop models
for higher vans such as the Fiat
Ducato, Mercedes Sprinter and
Ram Promaster – it also plans
to create a motorised one for
bigger vehicles, which again
are largely found in the North
American market.
Benedetto explains that
Scalabros will definitely be
exhibiting at Caravan Salon
once again in Dusseldorf,
Germany this summer as it
believes that it gained good
traction there last year. He said:
“We think that there are a lot
of Motorhome manufactures
who may be interested in our
rollerblinds, and van converters
who may appreciate - as they
did last year - our rolling
awning. This is an awning that
one person alone can open
and close quickly thanks to its
retracting system, it’s compact
and quite good looking. Last
year we had just the 180cm
and 200cm sizes, this year we
developed also the 250cm. We’ll
also bring a new version of our
self-sticking darkening cloth,
which has no Alcantara, so it’s
cheaper and lighter, and whereas
last year we were proposing
it just in rolls and customers
had to cut to the shape of their
vehicles, this year we developed
the pre-cut sets for the VWT6
and the Ford Transit.”
Due to its history, its ethics,
and its family-run set-up,
Scalabros is a company that is a
pleasure to work with in the RV
industry. As Benedetto puts it:
“[People should want to work
with us] thanks to our flexibility
and reliability. We are born as
a commercial company, so the
customers are our kings, who
wouldn’t like to be treated as a
king?”
