Groupe SEB Launches €200M Savings Plan Amid Margin Pressure

Despite steady sales across key European markets—including Italy, Spain, and France—Groupe SEB is facing a sharp 40% drop in operating margins. The downturn comes even as new product innovations, such as floor scrubbers, continue to perform well regionally.

In response, CEO Stanislas de Gramont has unveiled a strategic €200 million cost-saving initiative aimed at restoring profitability. The plan, set to roll out through 2027, reflects the group’s commitment to operational efficiency and long-term resilience in a challenging economic climate.

As the home appliance sector navigates inflationary pressures and shifting consumer demand, Groupe SEB’s move signals a broader trend toward leaner, smarter growth strategies.

Electrolux Professional Group to streamline its operations

To strengthen future profitability and sharpen its competitive edge, Electrolux Professional Group is launching a series of cost-saving initiatives projected to deliver annual run-rate savings of approximately SEK 175 million by 2027, with SEK 80 million expected as early as 2026.

These measures will involve a one-time cost of around SEK 235 million, which will be reported as items affecting comparability in Q3 2025. The majority of the cash flow impact is anticipated in 2026.



Key Actions: Streamlining and Strategic Relocations

The cost-saving program will include operational streamlining across multiple countries and functions, alongside a strategic competence shift aimed at accelerating business development. Pending consultation with employee representative bodies, the following changes are under evaluation:

– Coffee Production: Relocation from Carros to Aubusson, France, impacting approximately 40 employees.
– Cooking Production: Relocation from Sursee, Switzerland, to other facilities—primarily Pordenone, Italy—affecting around 50 employees.

In total, around 350 employees may be impacted. However, the net reduction is expected to be closer to 200 roles, as new positions will be created to support the competence shift. Notably, about one-third of the SEK 235 million investment will fund this strategic shift, which, while not directly reducing costs, is designed to accelerate innovation and growth
