Swift saved in pre-pack deal
Swift Electrical, a Uk Stoke-based appliance distributor, has successfully emerged from administration through a swift pre-pack deal. The company faced significant challenges but was rescued by its joint managing director, Anthony Sant. Sant acquired Swift Electrical for an undisclosed sum via APS Distribution Ltd (formerly known as The Recycling Group). The business will continue to operate under the familiar Swift name. Existing orders will be fulfilled, and retailers will receive support for manufacturer warranties from the previous Swift business. This strategic move has safeguarded 34 jobs and secured the companyโs future. Sant aims to expand the product range, including brands like Creda, to better serve long-term retail customers.โ

Miele celebrities 125 Years
July 1899, Carl Miele Sr. and Reinhard Zinkann registered their new company Miele & Cie. with the vision of making better products rather than cheaper ones. This commitment to ‘Immer Besser’ has guided Miele through 125 years of remarkable achievements.
Starting in a small factory in Herzebrock with just 11 employees and a cream separator as the first product, we launched our first round wooden tub washing machine, the ‘Meteor’, just two years later. In 1907, Miele moved to Gรผtersloh, where Miele continued to expand their innovative product range and workforce.
Today, Miele is one of Germany’s most respected brands, employing over 22,000 people in 49 countries. Our journey has been marked by many successes and pioneering milestones, as well as challenges and bold decisions that have shaped the company.
From early social responsibility and initiatives such as a company health insurance fund in 1909, to leading the way in environmental sustainability and winning the German Sustainability Award in 2014 and 2023 โ Miele has always pushed the boundaries.ย risen from a manufacturer of cream seperators and butter churns to a world leader in premium kitchen, laundry, floorcare and medical appliances.
Miele at the IFA Kick-off: 125 years of quality and innovation meet 100 years of IFA
New standards in laundry care and design
Sustainability as a common thread – with a focus on circularity and AI
Attractive promotional appliances and new colour worlds for the anniversary
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak to you in this symbolic year” – with these words, Dr Reinhard Zinkann welcomed around 150 journalists to the IFA kick-off in Berlin. The Managing Partner of the Miele Group presented an initial preview of the Gรผtersloh-based premium manufacturer’s trade fair innovations and other focal topics. Product highlights include, in particular, the new ‘Nova Edition’ series of washing machines and dryers, which promises, for example, maximum protection of textiles.
“Once a Miele. Always a Miele. 125 Years of Quality” – this is the Miele motto for this year’s IFA. “Like no other company in the industry, Miele stands for quality and longevity”, says Reinhard Zinkann, whose great-grandfather founded the company together with Carl Miele Sr. In its anniversary year, Miele is presenting more than 70 attractively equipped special models from all product ranges in two series of special offers: The “125 Edition” includes a total of 28 attractively equipped models with a price advantage and/or free accessories. The 45 appliances in the “125 Gala Edition” also offer a free warranty extension of 125 weeks.
At the same time, the great-grandson of the company’s co-founder of the same name reaffirms his clear commitment to Germany, where Miele currently operates eight of its 15 plants, with investment commitments for the German plants totalling 500 million euros. According to Zinkann, the same strict quality standards apply in all Miele plants and are implemented and monitored 100 per cent everywhere. “Made by Miele is indivisible”, says Zinkann.
Giving appliances a second life
Another part of Miele’s ‘DNA’ is sustainability – at this IFA with a focus on circularity and the inclusion of AI. “We want to give our appliances a second life and are focussing on the reusability and recycling of appliance components and materials.” The company therefore continues to focus on durable, repair-friendly products and resource-saving production. At IFA, the company is also presenting a concept study for the first Miele product that is made entirely from recycled material and can also be completely recycled.
In the field of AI, the company utilises digital applications throughout the entire life cycle of its products: From AI-supported software in research and development, to AI-based optimisation of product quality in production, to AI-supported Smart Food ID cooking detection. Zinkann gave an example of one of the latest functions of the Miele app, which also contributes to greater sustainability: “With AI Diagnostics, we offer our users self-help in the event of appliance malfunctions and thus save many unnecessary customer service calls.”
Sustainable stand concept reused
As announced in 2022, Miele is reusing the sustainably designed IFA stand with modular structures for the third time at this trade fair. This is in combination with the extensive avoidance of waste, climate-friendly logistics and the use of environmentally friendly cleaning agents. In addition, Miele will also be prominently represented in the IFA ‘Sustainability Zone’ exhibition area this year, where it will present innovative approaches and technologies for the topic of circularity.
Zinkann gave an initial preview of one of the most exciting new products at IFA under the heading “Nova Edition”, which refers to the washing machines and dryers that stand out above all in terms of laundry care and design. “I can’t reveal any more here yet, all the details will follow at IFA.”
Versatile new design options
The two new colour worlds for built-in appliances in the handleless ArtLine range are real eye-catchers. With ‘Pearlbeige’, Miele presents a versatile mix of grey and beige, and with ‘Obsidian black matt’, the premium manufacturer picks up on the trend for matt surface textures. Both colours can be individually and harmoniously integrated – both in a dark overall concept or as an elegant accent in a light environment.
As usual, Miele will be presenting its new products with 270 appliances on a stand area of 3,000 square metres in Premium Hall 2.1. Two-star chef Alexander Herrmann will be providing tasty samples at the stand.
