In Italy, the brand is third in the sector in terms of turnover. “This is also thanks to the work done on online commerce, which began even before it exploded with the 2020 pandemic”, says Di Pietro. “Another reason is to be found in the fact that Hisense’s priority is to put products on the market with an advantageous quality-price ratio, which manage to satisfy current technological trends.”
