History

Insight is the driving force behind the evolution of Exelite

The first spark is the idea of founder Marco Marchi, who created the Liu Jo brand in 1995 and made it successful in the premium fashion brand segment.

Thanks to the Italian flair for beauty and craftsmanship, the intuitions that followed led to the expansion of the business perspective through the establishment of vertical joint ventures on different product categories.

Lastly, the idea of creating an Italian Group of complementary realities that can strategically act in strong synergy and compete effectively in the global market.
This is how the Exelite group was born.
