A significant milestone in the growth of the KGM brand in Italy
The President of KG, Mr Kwak Jae-sun, visited Italy for a strategic meeting with the management of ATFlow, the exclusive importer and distributor of KGM in the country. He was welcomed by Mattia Vanini, President of ATFlow, and Luca Ronconi, Chief Executive Officer of ATFlow and Managing Director of KGM Italy, to reinforce synergies and define the brand’s future direction in the Italian market.

Italy, regarded as a key market for KGM, is at the centre of the company’s new course, which features the launch of a completely renewed range of vehicles with modern design, state-of-the-art ADAS technologies, and a diversified line-up of powertrains: traditional, hybrid and electric. In a highly competitive environment, KGM stands out for its excellent value for money and long-standing expertise in four-wheel drive vehicles.
Mr Kwak’s visit comes shortly after the European launch of the Torres HEV hybrid SUV, already available in Italy since 15 September 2025, and ahead of the market debut of the Torres EVT 4×4 pick-up, expected by the end of the year.
During his stay, the President of KG also visited one of the KGM dealerships of the Autotorino Group in Lombardy, gaining first-hand insight into the effectiveness of the distribution network and the strong growth potential of the brand in Italy.

We are ready to face the challenges ahead with enthusiasm and to bring the brand’s innovation to our customers.”
Luca Ronconi, Chief Executive Officer of ATFlow and Managing Director of KGM Italy, added: “The presence of President Kwak in Italy is a clear sign of KGM’s commitment to Italian consumers. The introduction of models such as the Torres HEV and Torres EVT, which combine modern design, advanced safety features and a choice of powertrains at competitive prices, enables us to offer cutting-edge vehicles of great appeal, in line with motorists’ expectations.”
Mr Kwak Jae-sun expressed his appreciation for the dynamism of the Italian market and for the work carried out by ATFlow. “Italy is a cornerstone in our European expansion strategy, which envisages the introduction of as many as eight new or updated models by 2030,” said the President of KG. “The positive feedback we receive and the dedication of the ATFlow team confirm that we are on the right path to establish KGM as a leading player in the automotive sector, thanks to a range of vehicles that combine technological excellence with accessibility.”
