Gorenje to make 270 redundancies as it reorganises after Hisense takeover
By bne IntelliNews April 28, 2019
Slovenian household appliances manufacturer Gorenje announced it plans to lay off 270 workers out of the current 4,212 employees as part of its reorganisation and business optimisation process.

Gorenje selected China’s Hisense Electric Co as its strategic partner in May last year as it sought a partner that would support its long-term and sustainable growth and development. Hisense went on to acquire the Slovenian white goods manufacturer.

Following the takeover, Gorenje has embarked on the restructuring that is expected to see 6% of its workforce laid off.

“In early March, Gorenje was transformed from a joint stock company into a limited liability company, in order to simplify its corporate governance and pave the way for more efficient management and decision-making within the group that will thus be better positioned to respond promptly to the challenges and changes in a demanding business environment, to reap the synergies with Hisense, and to cut its operating expenses,” Gorenje said.

The appliance maker added that business transformation will be the priority task in all fields of its operations in the months ahead. Consequently, in April Gorenje started the procedures for reorganising the business processes at the level of the entire group, which also includes new organisation and job systematisation at the parent company.

“As a result of business transformation and restructuring, merging of functions, decreasing the number of management levels, and business optimisation, the number of employees at support services in the Group will be decreased,” said the statement.

Posted on by

Grundig’s Gourmet Chef Smart Oven is equipped with advanced connected technologies and sensors allowing users to precisely control the temperature of their food as it cooks to ensure the best results. This includes a moisture and oxygen sensor, a temperature control sensor and BLDC motor, an integrated camera and a multipoint meat probe. The Gourmet Chef oven also features a 7” Touch TFT Display that lets users control these in-oven smart functions, allowing for easy monitoring and adjustments to the cooking process.

In addition to these smart functions, Grundig’s Steam Assist technology allows users to easily cook poultry, meat and fish to the perfect level of tenderness, as well as bread and pastries to rival an artisan bakery. The secret ingredient is multiple bursts of steam released throughout the cooking cycle at predetermined times based on the selected automatic cooking programme. This ensures that baked goods retain up to 7% more moisture, and develop a rise 14% higher than they would in a traditional oven, as well as a crisp and shiny crust. Full steam cooking is also an ideal cooking method for users looking to maintain a healthy diet, as it removes the need to cook using oil. This cooking process also allows the food to retain a higher quantity of vitamins and minerals. The Gourmet Chef Smart Oven offers full steam and combination steam cooking programmes, and can also be used as a conventional oven.

The intuitive innovation doesn’t stop there. Dealing with the aftermath of a spitting joint of meat is no longer a problem thanks to Grundig’s advanced automatic self-cleaning with water, which cleans the whole oven at the touch of a button. And to ensure that users’ cleaning practices remain sustainable, quick cleaning functions start at off-peak electricity hours
