Beko Europe’s Meeting with Italian Social Partners: A Disappointing Update
On November 7th, a long-awaited meeting took place at the Ministry of Industry and Made in Italy in Rome. The meeting, attended by Beko Europe CEO Ragip Balcioglu, was intended to address the company’s operational challenges in Italy. However, the outcome was far from positive.
During the meeting, Beko Europe outlined several significant issues impacting its Italian operations:
* Weakened Consumer Demand: A notable slowdown in consumer demand across Europe has negatively affected the company’s sales.
* Intensified Competition: Increased competition from Asian market players has further eroded Beko Europe’s market position.
* Negative Business Performance: Despite substantial historical investments, the company has experienced negative business performance.
* Structural Overcapacity: Italy’s manufacturing facilities are facing challenges due to structural overcapacity.
These factors have collectively created a challenging environment for Beko Europe’s Italian operations. The meeting with social partners aimed to discuss potential solutions and strategies to mitigate these issues. However, the specific details of the discussions and any proposed solutions have not been publicly disclosed.
As the company navigates these turbulent times, it remains to be seen how Beko Europe will adapt to the changing market dynamics and ensure the sustainability of its Italian operations.officially announced the closure of factories in Poland and the group’s only plant in the United Kingdom, the spotlight is now on Italy where Beko has 4,400 employees, exceeding 5,000 with temporary workers.the historic refrigeration line in Cassinetta di Briandronno (but not the line dedicated to built-in ovens and microwaves); the entire Siena plant (dedicated to the little-selling category of chest freezers) and the Comunanza site engaged in the production of washing machines and washer-dryers, also produced in Beko’s plants in Turkey and in what until the merger was Beko’s only industrial presence in Europe: the Ulmi plant.
In total, according to press sources that followed the event, at least 1,000 jobs are at risk among the 4,400 employees in Italy, excluding temporary workers.

Miele starts selling refurbished electronic parts
According to a UN report, 62 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste (including old washing machines, PCs, and mobile phones) were produced in 2022 – an increase of 82 % compared with 2010. In most cases, the electronic modules end up dumped along with the appliance, not only resulting in the loss of valuable resources but also damaging the environment. Miele is tackling this problem head on by taking back and refurbishing an increasing number of damaged and broken components. Customers in five EU countries can now choose to have a refurbished electronic module fitted when their appliance requires repairs.
On average, only 22 % of all electrical waste produced is recycled. Most of the components that are not recycled end up on landfill sites or are burned. “We’re fighting back against electrical waste and giving used electronic components a new lease of life,” says Axel Kruse, SVP Customer Service at Miele.
If the electronic modules in a washing machine, a dishwasher or a coffee machine require replacing, Miele service technicians are now able to offer customers the choice of a new or a reconditioned spare part when they attend to make the necessary repairs. Despite costing around a third less than the equivalent new parts, reconditioned parts are still tested to the same strict quality criteria. Refurbished electronic modules can also be used when carrying out repairs covered by warranties and contractual agreements – including when these services are provided by Miele service partners.
