For the fifth consecutive year, Marcegaglia has maintained the A2.2 rating assigned by Cerved Rating Agency, the Italian rating agency specializing in assessing the creditworthiness of non-financial Italian companies and evaluating the sustainability performance of economic operators.

The assessment – placing Marcegaglia in the upper tier of the rating scale – reflects a well-diversified business model capable of managing the risks associated with the ongoing transformation of the sector.

Even in an uncertain environment, the Group continues to deliver positive economic results, supported by strong risk-management capabilities thanks to its partial upstream integration, long-standing relationships with both European and international suppliers, an extensive sales network, continuous diversification of products, markets and customers, and ongoing investments in automation and digitalization.

Given the evolving scenario (including the expected impact of various protectionist measures on the sector), Cerved Rating Agency forecasts short-term consolidation of the Group’s economic performance, with the maintenance of a solid financial structure, supported by the unique features of its business model and the strategic relevance of its investments.
