De’Longhi Australia is no longer distributing major kitchen appliances in Australia and New Zealand with Fisher & Paykel-owned Elba Appliances assuming distribution on 1 June 2020.
Elba Appliances was acquired by Fisher & Paykel in 2006 as an entry-level brand for the commercial sector, offering built-in ovens, freestanding cookers, cooktops, and dishwashers.
De’Longhi Australia and New Zealand CEO, Paolo Albertoni said the decision allows the group to focus on its key core categories including coffee, breakfast, comfort, seasonal and linen care.
Elba Appliances Australia general manager, Bill Simos said the company will capitalise on its heritage and expertise to create new products tailored to the Australian market.
