Wind Tre S.p.A. (stylised as WINDTRE) is an Italian telecommunications company which offers mobile and fixed telephony services. It is wholly owned by CK Hutchison Holdings.[2]

It was formed 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 conglomerate completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the company from VEON (formerly VimpelCom).[6][7][8]

As of 2022, it is the largest Italian mobile operator by subscribers.[9]
