Filippi 1971 in Australia
A bridge between Italy and Australia, built on trust
The link between Filippi 1971 and the Australian market began over 20 years ago, with a desire to offer reliable solutions, quality materials and customer-orientated service. Today that relationship has become even stronger, thanks to our in-country presence with Filippi 1971 Pty Ltd, our Melbourne-based subsidiary in the heart of the Epping manufacturing district.
A strategic presence that allows us to be closer to our customers: immediate availability of materials, quick deliveries and personalised support, to provide close support to the growth of the rapidly expanding motorhome and caravan sector in Australia.

A history of forward-looking choices
We have been serving Australian customers since 2004 who, over time, have found Filippi 1971 to be a strong, present, and attentive partner. The opening of the Australian branch in 2021 was a natural evolution of this relationship. In 2024, with the move to the new 1,000 m² warehouse in Epping, we have strengthened our operational and logistical presence, including a dedicated showroom that is nearing completion.
The local office is headed up by Nick Calandriello, branch manager and point of contact for all commercial and logistical aspects.
From Italy to the world, via Düsseldorf
Every year since 2003, we have attended the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, the most important European event in the industry. An international showcase where we meet Australian customers, partners and manufacturers with whom we share vision, innovation and passion for quality.
Today, Filippi 1971 is an international company, but one which retains its strong family and artisanal roots. We offer the world Made in Italy products and an approach that prioritises relationships, reliability and service.
