Electrolux been awarded Top Employer Europe for the fourth year in a row! And never before has Electrolux been awarded Top Employer in so many countries across Europe – with Switzerland and Austria joining the organizations recognized by the Top Employers Institute for creating exceptional employee conditions.
Electrolux is now a member of the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA) to make devices and apps work together across brands for a better consumer experience. Electrolux joins Samsung Electronics, Haier, GE Appliances, Arçelik, American Standard Heating and Air Conditioning and Trane Residential as founding members of the HCA, launched at CES. This alliance aims to ensure interoperability so consumers can use their television, washing machine, oven and other appliances across different brands, platforms and apps. “Electrolux is focused on sustainable consumer experience innovation that can help shape living for the better. As the number of connected products continues to grow in homes across the world, the need for cross brand interoperability increases to enable great consumer experiences. This is why we are happy to be part of HCA”, said Ola Nilsson, Electrolux Group CXO. “Interoperability is a necessity in order for us to drive ease of use and create value for consumers – added Electrolux CTO Andrea Corda, who will represent Electrolux on the HCA as a Board Director -. It’s similar to setting protocols, the same way you can use one browser to access any website across the internet. You’ll be able to use one device, be it your phone or your tv, to operate anything from an air purifier to an oven. Within that interoperability, we’ll create another layer to show what Electrolux, or AEG, or Frigidaire can do for you”. Along with interoperability, consumer safety and data privacy are key pillars of HCA’s mission. Home Connectivity Alliance members will have the opportunity to innovate, share expertise across peers, and become leaders in expanding the connected home ecosystem.
Fabita is an Italian company that was set up around 11 years ago by a few managers from the household appliances sector. The company specialises in electric glass-ceramic induction hobs and hoods for third-party brands. This business has grown exponentially over the last few years due to the development of induction at a global level, which has boosted the business so much that in 2019 we decided to add what could be an identifying brand to the company. The idea was to transform Fabita by creating a line of products under its own name, but with an innovative proposal with a strong personality. Hence the project to work with the internationally renowned design studio Adriano Design, founded by architects Davide and Gabriele Adriano. The request was to deconstruct the classic induction hob and hood, thinking of them in a totally different way to meet the new living requirements
Fabita has always operated in the kitchen world, but, since 2019, we have been looking at the HoReCa channel, participating in Host for the first time. We had the opportunity to return live at Host2021 with our new product range, which deconstructs traditional kitchen furniture. It was here that we were able to see what the developments in the sector have been in recent years: we noticed a tendency by all hospitality facilities to renew their kitchens and appliances by focusing on design. The industry’s stakeholders have this need to differentiate themselves, not only by presenting their services in a different way but also by presenting themselves with a new, more sophisticated image, focusing on sophisticated and attractive equipment. Just think of the redefinition of the layout of premises where the open kitchen becomes the star of the restaurant environment and therefore requires new components to be put on display. It is a quest for a quality product that not only requires a unique design but also the technological aspect: when it comes to food service equipment, technology plays an increasingly important role. https://hubs.ly/Q011-Kdv0

Germany’s domestic appliance manufacturer Miele took out a 100% stake in the family-owned Eurofilters company at the end of December. The company, headquartered in the Belgian town of Pelt, stands for highly effective solutions based on random-spun fibres, such as materials for face masks and dust bags. The two companies have a long-standing and successful business relationship as Eurofilters already produces a large proportion of the dust bags available from Miele. More recently, the non-wovens specialist also extended its portfolio of technical products for medical applications.
Eurofilters was founded in 1977 by the Schultink family and employs a workforce of just under 160. Management is currently shared between Jan Schultink as CEO and Frits Schultink as CFO. Alongside dust bags, the company also produces materials used in manufacturing face masks and in blood filtration at their site in Pelt, which covers an area of around 35,000 m². Miele, for its part, is held in high esteem as the world’s leading manufacturer of premium appliances for cooking, laundry care and floorcare. These products are joined by commercial machines for businesses, the medical sector and laboratories as well as for air purification.
‘With its outstanding portfolio of products and patents, Eurofilters represents an excellent match for Miele for a variety of reasons’, explains Gernot Trettenbrein, Senior Vice President of the Miele Group and head of Miele’s New Growth Factory business unit. On the one hand, this opens up new business fields for Miele and, on the other hand, Miele increases its own command of the value creation chain in its strategically important business with vacuum cleaner accessories. ‘This allows us to manage the further development of the portfolio ourselves here as well, for example with regard to quality and sustainability aspects,’ Trettenbrein continues. ‘At the same time, we look forward to continue and further expand Eurofilters’ well-established supplier relationships.’
Company handover to responsible successors
‘As part of the Miele Group, our enterprise is in an excellent position to face the future’, says Managing Director Jan Schultink, who, together with his brother, will withdraw from the company in the medium term for age-related reasons. ‘We are pleased to have found a responsible and far-sighted successor in the German family-owned company and quality leader Miele, a company steeped in tradition which has been one of our key accounts for a long time now’, Frits Schultink adds. With the support of Miele this also presents the opportunity to consolidate and grow Eurofilter’s position in Europe and beyond.
The sleek stick vacuum cleaner delivers a powerful, hygienic cleaning experience with its All-in-One Clean Station™ and up to 210W suction power
Samsung Electronics today announced the launch of the Bespoke Jet™, a cordless vacuum cleaner with an All-in-One Clean Station™ that delivers hygienic cleaning with a 99.999 percent Multi-Layered Filtration System.1 In addition to its All-in-One Clean Station™, a dock that charges your vacuum cleaner and automatically empties the dustbin, the Bespoke Jet™ is lighter and is equipped with a more enhanced Digital Inverter Motor than its predecessor2 for even more powerful cleaning. Packed with innovations, the Bespoke Jet™ also earned recognition as an Honoree at the CES Innovation Awards 2021.
“Cleanliness is now top of mind for consumers across the world, so we wanted to create a product that delivers more convenient and powerful features to keep users’ homes tidy to the end of cleaning,” said Hyesoon Yang, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience of the Digital Appliances Business at Samsung Electronics. “The Samsung Bespoke Jet™ not only delivers the power and performance needed to keep your floors clean, its beautiful design can also fit seamlessly into any room in your home.” Hygienic Cleaning PerformanceThe Bespoke Jet™ features the All-in-One Clean Station™, which keeps a user’s space hygienic while cleaning. When docked, the All-in-One Clean Station™ is able to empty its dustbin automatically without any fine dust particles escaping3 thanks to Samsung’s unique Air Pulse technology. It also automatically charges the Bespoke Jet™ vacuum cleaner at the same time.
A 99.999 percent4 Multi-Layered Filtration System makes sure that only clean air is released from the Bespoke Jet™ during cleaning. As air is sucked in, the main cyclone separates large dust particles, which are then picked up in a metal mesh grille filter. A micro filter then catches fine dust particles, and finally, a fine dust filter traps micro dust5 that can easily escape. All the parts and filters are washable, so they can be kept hygienically clean
Whether it is being used on hard floors or carpets, the Bespoke Jet™ provides maximum suction to get the job done efficiently. The on-board Samsung Digital Inverter Motor is 47 percent lighter than the Jet90’s motor6 and generates up to 210W7 of suction power.
With its Jet Cyclone, you can enjoy cleaner air and powerful suction. Featuring a high-efficiency, multi-cyclone structure, the Jet Cyclone creates an optimal air path to reduce air resistance and minimize the loss of suction to hygienically trap fine dust particles sucked into the vacuum cleaner.
The handheld body of the Bespoke Jet™ weighs just 1.44kg, light enough to maneuver and clean the entire house, so you can easily clean the surfaces of chairs and sofas, on top of cabinets and tables, the length of window blinds, the underside of appliances and even up the stairs.
Cleaning Made Convenient
The Bespoke Jet™ features a convenient LCD Digital Display with support for 28 languages.8 This display gives you all the information you need at a glance including your suction level settings and remaining battery time. It also provides information about any problems, such as clogging,
objects stuck in the brush, or missing filters, and provides a guide to help you fix the problem.
The Bespoke Jet™ also has a large capacity battery, despite its high specification features. It can run for up to an hour9 and even when that time’s up, you can easily swap in a spare battery10 to extend to extend your cleaning time by up to two hours. Samsung’s unique technology also ensures that it retains 70 percent of its original performance throughout up to 500 cycles.11
To help you clean even hard floors easily, the Bespoke Jet™ also comes with an upgraded Spray Spinning Sweeper. Featuring dual spinning wet pads that rotate for up to 100 minutes,12 it delivers stable, effective cleaning for hard floors. The upgraded Spray Spinning Sweeper also features an easy-to-maintain 150ml water tank, so you can manually spray more water for a more convenient experience.
The arrival of the Bespoke Jet™ takes home appliances into the modern era. Embracing the philosophy of the Samsung Bespoke brand, the sleek and stylish Bespoke Jet™ is designed to blend into any home. Available in three stylish colors — Midnight Blue, Misty White and Woody Green — the Bespoke Jet™ allows users to place the vacuum cleaner in living areas without disrupting the overall interior design.
The Bespoke Jet™ will be available starting January 2022 in Southeast Asia, Europe, and March in the U.S.
