Italian ceramics and tabletop importer scaling direct-to-consumer channels
VIETRI imports handcrafted Italian ceramics, flatware, and home décor through both B2B and B2C channels. The tech stack—Shopify, NuOrder, Mirakl, SAP, and performance marketing tools (Google Ads, Meta, Pinterest)—reflects a wholesale-to-DTC hybrid model. Current hiring velocity is accelerating in marketing and sales (5 open roles, 3 posted in the last 30 days), alongside active projects in B2B/B2C page buildouts and SAP-to-Shopify automation, suggesting a scaling phase focused on order-to-fulfillment efficiency and channel expansion.
VIETRI, founded in 1983, is the largest US importer of Italian handcrafted ceramics, urns, planters, flatware, glassware, and garden lighting. The company operates through both direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels, sourcing exclusively from Italian artisans and selling to consumers and trade buyers. Based in Hillsborough, North Carolina, the organization runs 11–50 employees with active focus on product launches, promotional execution, and loyalty program development. Key operational challenges center on order-to-delivery automation (SAP-to-Shopify integration), ROI management across paid channels, and maintaining product data consistency across platform integrations.
