Premium cooking appliance manufacturer ILVE has appointed Matteo Lupi as its new Global Sales Director, a move aimed at strengthening the company’s leadership team as it continues expanding in the high-end kitchen appliance market.

In his new role, Lupi will report directly to the ownership of ILVE S.p.A and oversee the company’s global commercial strategy. His responsibilities will include coordinating sales activities across established and emerging markets while working closely with ILVE teams and subsidiaries in Europe, the United States and Australia.

The appointment is intended to support ILVE’s long-term growth plans as the brand continues to build its presence in the premium and luxury cooking appliance segment.

Alberto Illotti said Lupi’s appointment represents an important step in the company’s international development strategy. He noted that Lupi’s global experience, combined with his analytical approach and strong understanding of the appliance sector, would help the company respond to changing market conditions while reinforcing ILVE’s position in the premium category across different regions.

Lupi brings extensive experience in international sales leadership within the home appliance industry. His career includes work across major markets including North America and the Asia-Pacific region, providing experience in managing global partnerships and driving sales performance.

At ILVE, his responsibilities will include aligning commercial policies with the specific needs of regional markets, improving collaboration with distribution partners and supporting the company’s broader global expansion strategy.

Daniel Bertuccio, Head of Marketing at ILVE Australia, said the company welcomed Lupi’s addition to the global leadership team.

He said Lupi’s experience in international markets would strengthen the knowledge base available across the ILVE organisation and help support the brand’s continued growth.

Bertuccio added that the appointment would also bring ILVE Australia closer to the company’s global operations, creating stronger connections between regional teams as they work to expand the brand’s presence in their respective markets.

The leadership appointment reflects ILVE’s ongoing focus on developing its global sales strategy and strengthening collaboration across its international network as demand for premium kitchen appliances continues to grow.
