Arcelik’s CEO, Hakan Bulgurlu, has been elected as the new president of APPLiA – Home Appliance Europe, the Brussels-based association representing home appliance manufacturers in Europe.
Since 2015, Hakan Bulgurlu has been CEO of Arcelik. He is also a member of the World Economic Forum’s CEO Climate Leaders Alliance and the Amstel Dialogues, an initiative that aims to foster innovation in Europe.
Taking over the presidency from Dr. Peter H. Göetz, Executive VP of BSH Europe and outgoing APPLiA President, Bulgurlu addressed the members of the Association during the APPLiA General Assembly in Sofia. In his commencement speech, Bulgurlu shed light on the great progress made by the sector over the past years. “Commitment and dedication have been the key drivers behind Dr. Göetz’s term, and the scene is now set for a successful cooperation,” he said. Amid the shift to a post-pandemic era and Europe’s economic recovery, the industry is called to face the cross-cutting effects of the impending geopolitical challenges, affecting millions of lives and sectors across Europe and the wider world. This is further aggravated by one of the most pressing issues faced by humankind: climate change. The subsequent increased levels of energy insecurity that come with it call for a prompt energy transformation. “As an Association, we have a huge responsibility in advancing the set energy efficiency goals, to leave our children a better planet,” pointed out Arcelik’s CEO. In this regard, the role of the young generations is crucial “as the present issues will directly affect the lives of the consumers of tomorrow,” he highlighted. This surely represents a challenge, but also a great opportunity, for the home appliance sector to capitalise on the successes achieved so far and continue to actively shape the energy transition.

Industrial Grill by R.G.V.
Outdoor or indoor: cooking meat with grill and barbecue is possible both at home and outdoors. The appliance brands offer different types of products ranging from electric to gas models. In both cases, the ideal temperature and a homogeneous heat distribution are quickly reached. They are products designed to avoid generating smoke and feature containers to collect cooking fats. Moreover, solutions of various sizes are available to meet different needs.
Grilling in the kitchen
R.G.V. has created a product suitable for domestic kitchens that combines effectiveness and versatility. Industrial Grill is a device characterized by a power of 2000 Watt, able to heat up to 240°C. The selected temperature is reached quickly and kept constant to obtain the best cooking results. In addition, the appliance can be used both as a contact grill (with 5 adjustment levels based on the thickness of the food to cook), and by opening the two plates at 180 degrees to place the food on both surfaces. Using Industrial Grill is simple: the product is equipped with a timer, an adjustable thermostat and a ready-to-use light that alerts the user when the plates are hot. In addition, the thermoplastic handle allows to lift the lid safely. The cooking oils and fats are then collected in a special tray. Finally, cleaning is facilitated by the non-stick and removable ribbed plates and by a spatula to remove food residues.

Whirlpool UK Achieves 50 Per Cent Reduction in General Waste
Whirlpool UK Appliances Limited, the home of Hotpoint, Indesit, Whirlpool and KitchenAid brands, has announced the appointment of Axil integrated Services in a multi-million-pound contract. This follows a highly successful previous partnership with the waste management firm that saw the manufacturer achieve a 50 per cent reduction in general waste and achieve its zero waste to landfill by 2022 pledge at Whirlpool sites in Peterborough and Yate.
The manufacturer’s re-appointment of Axil highlights Whirlpool UK’s ongoing commitment to its sustainability goals, including its Net Zero 2030 target for its Scope 1 and 2 emissions. To date, the waste management expert has already supported Whirlpool UK in reducing its plastic usage by 80 per cent, as well as an overall reduction in general waste by 50 per cent – approximately the weight of a double-decker bus each month. In addition, Axil has saved the company 1,800 in manual hours by introducing machinery for waste movements and processing.
