Posted on by

The CEO of Arcelik, one of the world’s biggest home appliance makers, told Xinhua recently that China is a bright spot for business amid global recession fears and an increasingly gloomy market outlook.

Speaking of the present headwinds against the world economy, Hakan Bulgurlu said, “we will have to go through a lot of pain before it gets better.”

China, however, is “a little bit of a different picture,” he said in a video interview with Xinhua.

Established in 1955, Arcelik is a Turkish multinational household appliances manufacturer headquartered in Istanbul. With 45,000 employees, its global operations include subsidiaries in 53 countries, 30 production facilities in nine countries.

Arcelik’s domestic sales in China have grown by roughly 80 percent in 2022.

“I find China one of the more promising places to be in the future. It has always been the factory of the world, and I think it will continue to be the factory of the world,” said Bulgurlu.

“The world economy has significantly slowed down, and we are facing a recession on many fronts,” said the Turkish businessman, who had lived in Hong Kong for 13 years.

Calling himself “a big fan” of China and Asia, Bulgurlu said he is optimistic about the business performance in the future Chinese market. “I think demand for appliances continues. We want to continue investing in China to actually bring our brands in.”According to Bulgurlu, four product groups, namely heating and cooling, refrigeration, lighting and electric motors, consume about 40 percent of all power. Many current technologies have made these production much more efficient.

“We need global regulations to make us use the best available technologies in all of these product groups to reduce power consumption,” he said.

Regarding the upcoming COP27 meeting, he said “I hope to make some progress and talk not only with policymakers but other CEOs as well.”

“I actually admire China in the sense that when China makes a decision, it follows through very, very fast,” Bulgurlu said.

In addition, through the use of recycled cardboard in their packaging, they have managed to save more than half a million trees in 2021.

The company’s commitment for 2030/2050 is to use 100% renewable energy resources, achieve 99% waste recycling in all global manufacturing operations and increase the use of recycled content up to 40% in its products. and reduce water and energy consumption per product by 45%.
