STATEMENT BY STANISLAS DE GRAMONT, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF GROUPE SEB:

2022, in a difficult general economic environment and after a record year in 2021, our sales were globally resilient. We are particularly pleased with our performance in China, where Supor for the first time exceeded the two-billion-euro turnover mark. However, our results were impacted by significant headwinds. In this context, the Group was once again able to demonstrate responsiveness and quickly implement effective action plans to adapt to market developments and protect its profitability.
 

At the same time, and beyond short-term imperatives, we have continued to invest in our strategic levers: product innovation, the international deployment of our champion products, the attractiveness of our brands, and the activation of all distribution channels. No truce either for our investments in our competitiveness – industrial, logistics, information systems -, which are all crucial for the future. I would like to salute and thank the unfailing commitment of all the teams, which has been essential in these achievements.

For the year 2023, visibility remains limited. Despite a first quarter that is anticipated to be down, the Group expects a gradual improvement in sales in its Consumer business, strong revenue growth in Professional sales, as well as an increase in its operating margin for the year as a whole.

We are confident in the continued development of the global market for Small Domestic Equipment and Professional Coffee, in which we continue to strengthen our presence with the recent acquisition of the La San Marco company. We remain convinced of the relevance of our economic model, which will allow us to take full advantage of strong structural demand, a source of growth opportunities for Groupe SEB.

“With health and hygiene top of mind for many people, Samsung is providing a great way to refresh their clothes by removing harmful substances using the Bespoke AirDresser,”

Neutralise germs and odours to keep your wardrobe fresh

To keep your clothes fresh and ready for any occasion, Bespoke AirDresser’s Sanitise function uses powerful JetSteam to steam and refresh your garments. Infusing high temperature heat deep into the fabric, the JetSteam system eliminates 99.9% of common bacteria and viruses and kills 100% of house dust mites[2] to refresh linens, bedding, and even baby clothes and soft toys for safe use. Bespoke AirDresser also uses a Deodorising Filter that eliminates 99% of odour-causing gases including those from sweat, tobacco, and food.

Save time and energy with powerful, intelligent features

Bespoke AirDresser doesn’t just make clothing care more convenient; it adapts itself to fit your lifestyle. The AI Control feature personalises your controls by remembering habits[3]—such as your most frequently used so you don’t have to flip through menus to get to your favourite options and settings. If you also own a Samsung smart washer, you can connect it to your Bespoke AirDresser through the SmartThings application and receive a recommendation for the most appropriate drying course according to the wash cycle you’ve just finished[4]. After sanitising your clothes, intelligent systems take over once again. Using a humidity sensor on the inside of the door, Bespoke AirDresser’s AI Dry technology continually senses the humidity of your clothes and intelligently reduces drying time accordingly, so your laundry is always dried thoroughly in the shortest possible timeClean longer clothes conveniently

Whether you’ve got large winter coats, or flowing summer dresses, Bespoke AirDresser’s Long Dress Zone is specially designed to handle your longest garments. While long dresses, coats, and jackets can be difficult to fit into conventional clothing care devices, Bespoke AirDresser features a space 143 centimetres tall to fit items up to 20 centimetres longer than in the rest of the cabinet.

 

Upgrade your home in style

Available in six different colour and material options[5] – including Crystal Mirror, Glam White, Glam Pink, Satin Beige, Cotta White, and Cotta Charcoal – Bespoke AirDresser’s customisability means you can choose a design that will blend seamlessly into the décor of your home. It comes in two sizes, 18-inch and 24-inch, holding three or five pieces of clothing depending on the needs of your lifestyle.

Miele Fashion master

The FashionMaster from Miele has been refined and will be immediately launched in Germany and Europe in the 4.0 version. Product engineers at Miele’s Lehrte plant have further improved the FashionMaster, including a larger rest for the iron and a scratch-proof coating in white. The FashionMaster 4.0 is available in three versions: the entry-level B 4312 boasts 3.5 bar steam pressure and a tough, anthracite-coloured ironing table cover. With its tayberry red table ironing cloth, the B 4826, Miele’s premium model with 4 bar of steam pressure, has a fresh appearance, whilst the flagship B 4847 additionally offers top-class ironing, for example, of garments on a coat hanger using the handy steamer.

With steam pressure as high as 4 bar and constant steam delivery of 100 g/minute, steam permeates even the thickest of fabrics, causing even the most stubborn of creases to vanish fast. One key contributing factor is the fan-assisted ironing table: the blower function ensures particularly smooth ironing, whilst the suction function ensures the more intensive use of steam. In addition to this, it also locks garments into position, preventing them from slipping. Automatic switch-on and switch-off ensures optimised uptimes: the fan starts as soon as steam is requested, stopping automatically during ironing breaks.

Whether working with the iron or the steamer – Miele explains – the FashionMaster also offers hygiene and certified protection. By applying steam topically for five seconds with the Miele steam iron (Setting 3) or the steamer, 99.99% of viruses such as Corona, influenza, and Noro viruses (with the exception of Hepatitis B) are removed. This statement has been scientifically endorsed by Germany’s Albstadt-Sigmaringen University. Miele’s ironing system was also awarded the Hygiene Seal in silver by the independent Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology
