A Landmark Agreement for Australian Rowing Excellence
Filippi Lido Srl proudly announces its official partnership with Rowing Australia (RA), a prestigious collaboration set to run through the end of 2028. This agreement solidifies Filippi’s role as the exclusive supplier of high-performance boats for the Australian national rowing teams across multiple disciplines, including competition rowing, para-rowing, and coastal rowing.
A Legacy of Success, a Future of Innovation
“This partnership is a dream come true,” said David Filippi, CEO of Filippi Lido Srl. “Rowing has deep roots in Australia, with a vast base of participants, especially in schools. It is an honor to put our expertise at the service of such a distinguished Federation as it prepares for the upcoming Olympic cycle toward Los Angeles and beyond.”
Filippi has long supported Australian rowing, providing boats for youth teams and achieving notable success at the senior level. Recent world podium finishes by athletes like single sculler Tara Rigney and the women’s double scull duo of Morrison and McIntyre—who secured an Olympic bronze in Paris—highlight the growing impact of Filippi boats on Australia’s elite rowing performance.
Unmatched Quality and Innovation
Rowing Australia’s decision to partner with Filippi follows a competitive selection process, seeking world-class equipment for its athletes. RA Performance Director Paul Thompson MBE emphasized Filippi’s critical role in supporting pathway athletes and delivering cutting-edge boats that meet the highest international standards.
“Filippi has been an integral part of Rowing Australia’s success for years,” said Thompson. “This partnership ensures that all our athletes—from Senior, Para, and Beach Sprint squads—will continue to have access to world-class equipment.”
A Complete Support Network
The agreement extends beyond equipment supply, reinforcing a comprehensive support system for Australian rowers. Filippi’s official distributor in Australia, Perfect Balance Rowing, ensures seamless integration of Filippi boats into RA’s high-performance programs, providing exceptional service across the vast Australian territory.
Looking Ahead to Los Angeles and Beyond
As Rowing Australia sets its sights on Los Angeles 2028, Filippi is committed to providing the best possible equipment to propel Australian athletes to new heights. With this partnership, innovation, excellence, and performance are guaranteed to define the future of Australian rowing.
