BSH celebrating

Posted on by

On March 1, 1993, the German concern BSH (Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte Group), the largest manufacturer of home appliances in Europe, became a 100 % owner of Gorenje MGA.

Over 30 years, the company has undergone a radical transformation. At the time of the takeover, the factory employed 466 people and produced simple small motor-powered home appliances, clocks and wall scales. Today, the Nazarje plant (BSH Hišni aparati d.o.o. Nazarje) employs 1,800 people, including more than 250 engineers and is the most important small home appliance manufacturing plant in the BSH Group.

To our based home appliances producion they have added Premium appliances such as coffee, built-in coffee, cookit to the basic appliances, which play an important role in the smart kitchen for the future. In 30 years, the factory produced just under 153* million small household appliances (including the production plan for this year).

BSH are more than proud of the 30-year success story of BSH’s operation in Slovenia, and our look forward to development and success stories in the future as well.

LG’s Inverter Direct Drive Motor Reaches Milestone With 100 Million Units Produced

A Key Component of Premium LG Washing Machines for More Than Two Decades,
Company’s Innovative Motor Technology Continues to Evolve for Excellence

SEOUL, March 10, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) announces that the production of its Inverter Direct Drive™ (DD™) motor has exceeded 100 million units. The company’s differentiated motor technology is a major factor in the strong, reliable performance and continuing global popularity of LG’s industry-leading laundry solutions.

From 1998 to the end of 2022, the company produced, on average, over 12,000 Inverter DD motors per day. LG’s Inverter DD motor connects directly to the washing drum, an innovation that helps make LG washing machines more durable and dramatically reduces noise and energy consumption during operation.

LG has refined the Inverter DD motor over four generations, continuously improving the technology and its performance capabilities to deliver greater customer value. The company holds over 240 Inverter DD motor related technology patents in Korea and internationally. In 2019, the company applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the Inverter DD motor to further enhance its efficiency and effectiveness. Used in LG’s premium washing machines and dryers, the AI DD motor leverages deep learning technology to detect the weight of each load and the types of fabrics being washed. It then selects the optimal combination of drum movements from the company’s proprietary 6 Motion technology – which enables six discrete drum movements – to care and clean for users’ laundry.

Last year, LG brought its advanced Inverter DD motor to its dryers for the first time. Like the company’s washers, LG dryers also offer 6 Motion (Tumble, Swing, Rolling, Stepping, Scrubbing and Filtration) technology to boost drying performance and minimize fabric damage. LG’s inverter motor technology – specifically, the AI DD – became the first home appliance technology to earn Deep Learning AI Verification from global safety science company UL (Underwriters Laboratories).

“The number of Inverter DD motors produced points to the excellence of the motor technology LG has developed for its premium laundry solutions,” said Kim Yang-sun, head of the Component Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “We will continue to create highly efficient core components that boost the performance and reliability of our products while also reducing carbon emissions during operation.
