Wind Tre S.p.A. is an Italian telecommunications company that provides both mobile and fixed telephony services. The company was established on December 31, 2016, following the merger of two Italian telecommunications entities, 3 Italy and Wind Telecomunicazioni. These were previously controlled by CK Hutchison Holdings and VimpelCom respectively. On September 7, 2018, CK Hutchison Holdings became the sole shareholder of Wind Tre after acquiring the remaining 50% stake in the company from VEON, formerly known as VimpelCom. Despite the merger, Wind Tre retained the Wind, 3 Italy, and Infostrada brands until March 16, 2020, when a rebranding process was initiated.
