Luis García Alvarez of MAPFRE AM presented his in-depth investment thesis on Technogym (Italy: TGYM) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2019.

Thesis Summary:

Technogym is the second-largest player in the professional segment of the manufacturing industry, leading the market in Europe. It has a complete set of equipment, cardio and strength, to meet all the needs of physical activity, from athletic training, to fitness and rehabilitation. The company was founded in a little garage in Italy in 1983 by Nerio Alessandri, who still serves as CEO and retains ~45% of the shares. Since that year, revenue has increased at an annual CAGR of 25+%. Technogym’s consistent focus on innovation, executed over decades, offers an opportunity to benefit from this growing market going forward. Technogym has a wide moat due to its “solution selling” approach, which differentiates the business from competitors in the exercise equipment segment.
