Arçelik has announced a major leadership change, confirming that long‑serving CEO Hakan Bulgurlu will step down after more than a decade leading Beko and 32 years within the Koç Group.

Bulgurlu will be succeeded by Can Dinçer, who currently serves as General Manager of Arçelik Türkiye and Chief Commercial Officer for South Asia and Turkey. The transition is scheduled to take effect following the company’s next Annual General Meeting.

To ensure continuity, Bulgurlu will remain on the Board of Directors of Beko BV until June 2026, supporting a smooth handover. He will also continue in his role as President of APPLiA Europe, the association representing the European home appliance industry, until the end of his term.

This marks one of the most significant leadership shifts in the sector this year, positioning Dinçer to guide Arçelik through its next phase of global growth and innovation.
