Wind Tre S.p.A., more commonly known as WINDTRE, is an Italian telecommunications company of the CK Hutchison Holdings Limited group,[2] which offers mobile and fixed telephony services.

It was born on 31 December 2016 from the merger of two Italian telecommunications companies, namely 3 Italy and Wind, controlled respectively by CK Hutchison Holdings and VimpelCom.[3][4][5]

Since 7 September 2018, CK Hutchison Holdings has been the sole shareholder of Wind Tre as, following approval by the European Commission, the Hong Kong group completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the company from VEON (formerly VimpelCom).[6][7][8]

As of 2022, it is the first Italian mobile operator for SIM HUMAN, third instead after TIM and Vodafone in total active cards.[9]
