Last week, we marked a significant milestone — the 15th anniversary of our office in Hong Kong. Surrounded by esteemed members of the Hong Kong business community, including the Consul General of Sweden Louise Bergholm and the General Manager of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Gabriella Augustsson alongside companies SEB, McKinsey & Company and SCA, we reflected on our incredible journey. The evening was not only a celebration of our history in this vibrant Asian city, but also an opportunity to honor the partnerships, successes, and shared values that have shaped our presence in this dynamic region. Luis Cepeda, our Head of Sourcing, opened the gala dinner with a heartfelt speech: “When we began 15 years ago, we envisioned a sourcing organization that was dynamic and future-focused. Today, I am proud to say we’ve built an engine of growth and resilience that exceeds even our highest expectations. Our journey is a testament to the strength of our team and the partnerships we’ve cultivated. I’m confident that this solid foundation will continue to drive our growth in an ever-evolving market.” Louise Bergholm highlighted how Electrolux Group embodies Swedish values — sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility — while thriving in Hong Kong’s dynamic environment. Gabriella Augustsson reflected on the strong collaboration between Electrolux Group and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, emphasizing how our joint efforts have created lasting opportunities and strengthened ties between Swedish and local businesses. As we look to the future, we’re filled with optimism and determination to achieve even greater things together.

Now you can steam and air fry your food at the same time! Thanks to advanced technology, we’ve launched an air fryer that also steams - helping consumers to cook more sustainably and healthily in the home, whilst also saving them time.      How did this innovation come to life? Ethel Kreutz, our Global Category Manager from Product Line Wellbeing and Small and Domestic Appliances, tells the story:     “We looked at key consumer insights, such as enabling even healthier eating possibilities and exploring new cooking techniques. In addition, we were inspired by the success of our premium steam oven.  Following this legacy, we created a product that offers both air frying — which cooks food with less fat and calories — and steaming — which helps lock in moisture and retain nutrients.”      The Electrolux 800/AEG 8000/Ultimate Taste 700 Steam Air Fryer has four features: ▪ Air frying  ▪ Steaming  ▪ Air frying and steaming (combi)- the best of both worlds!   ▪ Dehydrating     It is currently available in European markets, as well as Taiwan, Thailand, Korea and China. It will be available in Malaysia, Singapore, and Middle East and Northern and Central Africa later this year. The product will be rolled out in more markets next year.        #innovation #airfryer #healthyeating #sustainability

Low wash temperatures and short cycles can help extend clothing life and are also in demand from consumers looking for greater flexibility when washing multiple loads each week.

What’s your autopilot wash temperature? Nearly three quarters of Europeans (74%) stick to a default wash temperature on their washing machines, with nearly a third (30%) not knowing they can change it, according to our latest The Truth About Laundry report, which this year focuses on extending clothing life.   Generally, the cooler and shorter the washing cycle, the longer an item of clothing will last. Yet according to our data, the most common default wash temperature used is 40°C with cycle durations often between 90 and 120 minutes. The good news is that, as consumers look to build more sustainable habits, they CAN change the default setting. Across the three newest ranges from our brands Electrolux and AEG, over 70% of programs default to 30°C or 20°C.    Read our latest Truth About Laundry Report to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dAc9Mg45   #laundry #sustainability #sustainablehabits #innovation

Here’s one way AI is helping us improve the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues at our factories and warehouses worldwide. Thanks to a successful open innovation collaboration with CerebrumEdge we’ve been able to test and launch a new AI and data analytics tools, ErgoEdge, which makes it easier than ever to spot and reduce ergonomic risks.     The tool enables us to conduct real-time ergonomic risk assessments using smartphone-recorded videos. This means we can quickly spot potential risks, such as poor posture or repetitive stress. This proactive approach helps us reduce the number of musculoskeletal disorders caused by bad posture or repetitive stress creating a safer and healthier environment.      So far, the ErgoEdge solution has been implemented in factories and warehouses in Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Hungary, Romania and the US and will be rolled out globally.       #openinnovation #AI #ergonomics #safety
