2023, Samsung Family Hub™ came back in a new shape and form, known as the Plus. The larger 32-inch display and the wide array of features were jam-packed with designers’ thoughtful and innovative ideas. The Bespoke 4-Door Flex™ Refrigerator with Family Hub™+ truly unveils new lifestyles that directly impact us in bigger and more ways.
Bigger screens mean greater attention to detail. For instance, the 32-inch display needed to be accessible to both children and wheelchair users, so the bottom portion of the display was positioned to be mindful of these users’ needs. The top of the display was raised, but the Accessible Screen feature lets users tap the home button twice to bring down the top portion of the screen. The panel surrounding the screen was carefully fitted to make sure the details on the edges were smooth. The mic at the bottom was also moved upwards so that every detail we need to see — or what we don’t — is precisely designed into the form.
Moreover, a wide variety of panel materials are available to choose from, allowing users to design a refrigerator that feels best to their touch. The satin glass is velvety in texture, offering both comfort and glow, while the glam glass brightens any environment with its high gloss surface. Metal embodies Millennial sentiments through a subtle, monotone finish. Panels are easily interchangeable so that a single refrigerator base can support a wide range of styles
Electrolux put his foot down and after very tough negotiations obtained the productivity increases he demanded in order to transfer a large part of the Hungarian factory’s refrigerator production to Susegana in Italy
In Susegana, the Swedes will invest 110 million euros between now and 2026 to make it one of its most automated and digitized production sites
In 2019, the multinational had already invested 130 million euros and built two Genesi assembly lines, among the most automated of the entire group. A few months ago in Solaro, on the outskirts of Milan, a similar investment-productivity pact was made with the union: in that case the agreement envisaged investments of 102 million euros to revitalize the site where high-end dishwashers are produced of range.

Large household appliances will have to be transported almost entirely using reuseable packaging by 2030, according to the European Commission’s proposed packaging waste law, a move widely questioned by players in the supply chain.
The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), tabled in November last year, aims to slash unnecessary boxes and wrappings while promoting recycling as well as reuse.
The proposal, which is currently being examined by the European Parliament and EU member states before eventual adoption, has caused anxiety in the retail and logistics sector, which is still in the process of analysing the implications of the Commission’s proposed reuse targets.
But the white goods sector is confronted with headaches of their own.
Under the Commission’s proposal, 90% of packaging used for large household appliances must be “made available in reusable transport packaging” by 2030 when they are placed on the EU market for the first time.
The mandate is contained in Article 26.1 of the draft regulation, which lays down re-use targets for packaging used in the transport of “large household appliances” such as refrigerators, washing machines, tumble dryers, electric fans or air conditioners.
Whether that objective makes sense is open for debate, though.
The provision “is a significant source of concern for our sector”, said Paolo Falcioni, director general of APPLiA, a trade association representing the home appliance industry in Europe.
According to APPLiA, packaging for large household appliances must be functional and protective, to ensure the product is not damaged physically or by humidity during its journey from the manufacturer to the retailer and eventually to the consumer.
Packaging typically used for this purpose include pallets, plastic straps, carboard boxes, and pallet wrappings, some of which “cannot be reused due to technical constraints”, APPLiA said.
“For example, pallet wrapping may become damaged or contaminated with materials that cannot be adequately cleaned, rendering them unusable for future shipments. In other cases, reuse may be possible, but the cost and complexity of returning the packaging to the manufacturer can make it impractical,”

AMDEA urges the Government to encourage consumers to choose energy efficient appliances or consider repairs AMDEA is calling on the Government to ensure households can reap the crucial savings that efficient home appliances can offer, and to help the nation to achieve net zero.
Chief executive, Paul Hide, highlights the examples of other European nations promoting sustainability by offering reduced VAT on repairs, and encouraging those homes needing to replace with cash grants towards best in class, high-efficiency models.
In the drive to promote a circular economy and extended life, AMDEA is launching a unique ‘Repairs and Spares’ portal as an addition to its award-winning Know Watt’s What energy-saving campaign.
The portal offers householders instant access to genuine spare parts, expert repairs and advice from 68 of the UK’s leading appliance brands. A new ‘Enduring Care’ section highlights maintenance tips for each appliance category to help homes secure best performance for longer.
Mr Hide said: “Right now, everyone is receptive to ways of reducing household costs. Promoting home savings by making the most of installed technology is pushing at an open door. The industry is also putting its weight behind encouraging cost effective repairs that extend appliance lifespans. But when homes need to replace appliances many require help to look beyond the price tag to long term choices for themselves and the environment. The Government must step up now, while there is an appetite for change, to add some meaningful financial incentives.”
If everyone who replaced a washing machine, fridge-freezer or tumble dryer in the last year had bought one of the most energy efficient models, a potential 755m kWh of electricity would have been saved. This is the equivalent of the electricity produced by 125 wind turbines, enough to power every home in a city the size of Cardiff, or a London borough as big as Barnet.
AMDEA called on the Government at a Parliamentary Reception – Appliances and the drive to net zero homes. To underpin effective action on good appliance usage, AMDEA also revealed the results of an in-home study by behavioural scientists at the University of Exeter Circular Economy Hub, on whether consumer education can help cut costs and conserve resources.
France has recently introduced anti-waste grants of up to €45 on repairs carried out by accredited professionals. In Sweden, tax breaks are offered for repairs – 12% VAT rather than the usual 25%. In Spain, regional governments (Madrid and Galicia) are incentivising with grants for the purchase of more efficient appliances.
