Electrolux has warned of a steep drop in demand for its home appliances

Posted on by

Sweden’s Electrolux on Monday announced plans to cut costs and warned its profit would drop as high inflation and low consumer confidence squeezed demand for its home appliances, while large investments in North America had yet to pay off.

Demand for appliances in Europe and the United States decreased at a significantly accelerated pace in the third quarter, with high retailer inventories and supply chain imbalances increasing costs and inefficiencies, Electrolux said.

Third quarter earnings for the group are expected to decline significantly compared to the second quarter 2022 also excluding the one-time cost to exit the Russia market,” the group said in a statement.

Electrolux has decided to exit Russia

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the following sanctions have made it impossible for Electrolux to continue its business in the country. The decision to divest the Russian business to local management is intended to enable a responsible and controlled exit. The divested company will continue to service appliances previously sold by Electrolux in Russia. Electrolux has no production in Russia and will not supply any appliances to the divested company.

The final operating income and cash flow effects will be determined by the balance sheet and exchange rate on the transaction day.

In 2021 Electrolux sales in Russia accounted for 4% of Business Area Europe sales and for 1.6% of Group sales.

AEG NEW REFRIGERATORS

Posted on by

AEG is presenting a new range of refrigerators at the IFA. The innovative series includes a fridge that can reduce food waste by up to 20% and uses recycled plastic for the interior.

According to the manufacturer, the new range consumes up to 20% less CO2 emissions than previous ones. In addition, more than 80% of the materials can be recycled . “This makes the new series one of the most sustainable that is currently available on the market ,” says AEG.

“Food waste affects us all. 30% of CO2 emissions come from food production . A third of all food ends up in the garbage , around 60% of people throw away food at least once a week.That’s why we put the design sketches aside and started with the global problem. In doing so, we have succeeded in developing a range of refrigeration appliances that can help to reduce food waste, preserve food longer and reduce energy consumption and therefore costs,”

three models 6000 TwinTech® NoFrost, 7000 GreenZone and 8000 Cooling 360° are part of an integrated range of cooling devices designed to ensure greater sustainability.
