Per questa materia, la metto in contatto con il nostro responsabile tecnico.

For this matter, I am putting you in contact with our technical manager.

Pronunciation

'Materia' = ma-TE-ria; stress on the second syllable.

When to use it

Use when you need to redirect an enquiry to a more appropriate colleague, introducing both parties clearly.

What it means

'Mettere in contatto' (to put in contact) is the standard Italian phrase for making an introduction. It is warmer than simply forwarding the email. It signals that you are personally vouching for the contact, which matters in relationship-based Italian business culture.

Variations

Le giro questa email al collega competente.

I am forwarding this email to the relevant colleague.

'Girare' = to forward/redirect; very common in offices

La metto in copia con la nostra referente commerciale.

I am putting you in copy with our commercial contact.

Adds someone to CC without full handover

Per questa questione, la invito a contattare direttamente...

For this matter, I invite you to contact directly...

Redirects without making the introduction yourself

Mini Dialogue

Gentile Signor Bruni, la ringrazio per la sua richiesta. Per questa materia tecnica, la metto in contatto con il nostro responsabile tecnico, l'Ing. Riccardo Penna. In copia all'Ing. Penna, che la ricontatterà entro oggi. Cordiali saluti, Giovanna Celli

Dear Mr Bruni, thank you for your request. For this technical matter, I am putting you in contact with our technical manager, Engineer Riccardo Penna. Engineer Penna is in copy and will contact you by today. Best regards, Giovanna Celli

Cultural Note

Italian business networks are built on personal introductions ('presentazioni'). Being referred by someone trusted opens doors that cold contact cannot. When making an introduction via email, always mention the connection briefly.
