Turkey’s Arcelik, the parent company of Beko, plans to cut nearly 2,000 jobs in Italy, reducing its workforce in the country by almost half, according to trade unions. During a meeting hosted by Italy’s industry ministry, the company announced 1,935 redundancies out of a total of 4,440 employees.
Beko Europe confirmed the job cuts, citing financial underperformance in its Italian operations due to increased competition from Asian companies and weakened demand. The company stated that factory utilisation rates were below 40%, making them unsustainable. To address this, Beko plans to invest 110 million euros ($116 million) to restructure its operations in Italy and establish a sustainable long-term presence.
However, Italy’s industry ministry deemed the plan unacceptable and stated that the government would use all available means to try to protect jobs.

Miele, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium domestic home appliances, has officially commenced production at its first-ever US-based production plant. Located in Opelika, Alabama, the facility has begun producing its Generation 7000 built-in ovens, designed specifically for the North American market.
This Opelika facility will produce appliances for the neighboring US, Canada and Mexico markets, which will greatly reduce the delivery time from weeks to just a few days, while also lowering the impact on the environment. This much improved turnaround time is important as the US market continues to be a key growth market for Miele.
“The facility is up and running as part of the first phase of development,” said Uwe Brunkhorst, Senior Vice President of the Business Unit Cooking at Miele. “We are especially pleased that despite the tight timeline, the team has achieved their goal and production has started ahead of schedule – the first oven has officially come off the assembly line.”
“Collaboration between the production sites in both Germany and the US together with the newly hired and thoroughly trained staff played a crucial role in this success,” said Ulf M. Kranz, Managing Director of the Opelika production plant in the United States.
The first American employees were trained at the Oelde plant in Germany, and those members of the team are now taking on both assembly tasks as well as the training of new colleagues in Opelika. The thirty-five person on-site team is growing exponentially and in the first phase, the plant is slated to employ up to 150 people.
