Midea could acquire Zanussi and its activities in Egypt

According to Egyptian media Midea Group is considering the acquisition of Zanussi brand from Electrolux Group . The acquisition deal is expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2023.

In July, the Swedish giant had appointed Societè Generale to handle the sale of the Zanussi, Ideal, Faure, Zanker, Rosenlew, Elektro-Helios, Zoppas, Olympic Electric and Kwikot brands and activities in Africa and the Middle East.

Electrolux’s activities in Egypt became relevant in 2011 with the acquisition of Egyptian Olympic Group, the largest white goods manufacturer based in the Middle East. Electrolux employs 2,238 people in Egypt.
