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

Domestic Appliance Distributors (DAD), a well-known name in the UK’s electrical retail sector, has entered administration following a period of sustained financial difficulty. The company, officially registered as John Gillman & Sons (Electrical) Ltd, has appointed Mike Denny and Michael Magnay of Alvarez & Marsal as joint administrators.
The move comes after the Tewkesbury-based distributor, which supplies domestic appliances to independent retailers, housebuilders, and social housing providers, reported continued losses. Despite generating nearly £48 million in annual revenue, the business was unable to meet its funding requirements, prompting the decision to seek external administration support.
As part of the process, 30 of the company’s 78 employees were made redundant immediately upon the appointment of administrators. The remaining staff have been retained to help maintain operations while options for the future of the business—including a potential full or partial sale—are explored.Founded in 1992, DAD has built a strong reputation for its wide range of electrical goods and robust manufacturer relationships. The company operates from a 160,000 sq ft warehouse and delivers over 55,000 products each month across the UK.
While the administration marks a challenging chapter for DAD, it also reflects broader pressures facing distributors nationwide—rising costs, tightening margins, and fierce competition continue to reshape the landscape of the UK’s appliance sector
