Newly-appointed CEO of ILVE Australia and New Zealand, Tristan Peters, has addressed staff to share his vision by prioritising the improvement of retailer relationships.
In his first meeting with staff shortly after being appointed by ILVE owner Alberto Illoti to re-connect with the Italian premium appliance brand as the chief executive of the local subsidiary, Peters said improving the brand’s retail presence was a key priority.
Peters has also confirmed he will be spending time to re-vitalise and strengthen the sales team including making new appointments in key areas of the business.
“I am proud to announce that I have officially joined ILVE as CEO in Australia and New Zealand. This move is more than just a new chapter – it’s a return to a brand I’ve had the privilege of working with for nearly two decades.
“ILVE has always stood for exceptional quality, innovation, and Italian craftsmanship in the home appliance industry. It’s a brand that resonates deeply with both consumers and design professionals, and I’m excited to lead the next phase of its evolution in our region.
“My vision is clear – to restore ILVE to its rightful place as a market leader in premium home appliances. We will focus on strengthening our connection with retailers and customers, innovating with purpose, and delivering the distinctive ILVE experience that homeowners, chefs, and designers have come to expect.
“There’s a strong foundation to build on – and with the support of an experienced and passionate team, I’m confident we’ll re-establish ILVE as one of the most desirable and trusted names in the industry.
“To our partners, customers, and colleagues – thank you for your continued support. I look forward to reconnecting with many of you and sharing the exciting developments ahead,” Peters said.
Illoti also reinforced the strategy for ILVE to re-engage with retailers who have previously supported the business while also maintaining relationships with existing partners.
“The strategy is to consolidate our position in the commercial category following investment in terms of time and resources over the last two years and strengthening the presence in the retail market,” Illoti said.
