Electrolux received a record fine from the Czech antimonopoly office
intervention of the ÚOHS, which already changed the Czech home appliance market at the end of January 2022, has its result after more than two years of waiting. The Antimonopoly Office fined Electrolux Swedish manufacturer over 125 million crowns. The company admitted to violating competition rules and cooperated with the authority. Nevertheless, it received a record fine – the press release states that Electrolux was proven to have engaged in long-term price-fixing activity, at least from 2012 to the fall of 2021. The text also mentions that the authority is dealing with five more proceedings in this area of the market. In the last two years, its representatives have visited companies such as Beko, HP Tronic and K+B Progres. And also to the FAST ČR wholesaler, which was already fined 30 million last May, as we wrote here . At Electrolux, the intervention of the Office for the Protection of Economic Competition already led to fundamental personnel changes two years ago. In addition to the management of the local representative at the time, two of the three sales teams also ended. Since then, the company has changed significantly in terms of personnel. From September 2022, it will be headed by Jan Rožek
Electrolux washing with steam
All new Electrolux and AEG washing machines ranges in Europe from Series 7 and above are equipped with a steam program. In APAC & MEA, select washing machine ranges are now equipped with steam programs to sanitize or refresh clothes, and machines in North America and Latin America are equipped with steam programs to remove dirt and tough stains from fibers.
As Electrolux explains, functions such as SteamCare and ProSteam use over 96% less water and 30% less energy compared to a complete washing cycle. The gentle SteamCare program – said Calina Gavril, Care Experience Marketing Director for Electrolux Group – enables consumers to quickly refresh one or two garments at a time, such as a blouse or shirt. In 25 minutes, gentle steam removes creases, odors and restores that newly washed feeling to even delicate garments.
Our consumer research – adds Isabell Foyer, European Category Manager, Washing Machines – consistently shows that steam is one of the most appreciated functions, and that it continues to have high consumer appeal. Changing laundry behavior takes time, but we are seeing more consumers changing their laundry behavior to reduce their environmental impact and costs, particularly in light of higher energy prices.
