Electrolux AB (commonly known as Electrolux, Swedish: [ɛ²lɛkːtrʊˌlɵks]) is a Swedish multinational home appliance manufacturer, headquartered in Stockholm.[2] It is consistently ranked the world's second largest appliance maker by units sold after Whirlpool.[3]

Electrolux products sell under a variety of brand names (including its own), and are primarily major appliances and vacuum cleaners intended for consumer use.[4] The company also makes appliances for professional use.[5] Electrolux has a primary listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the OMX Stockholm 30 index.

    • 1.2Mergers and acquisitions

History[edit]

The Autoluxlamp, a kerosene lamp manufactured by Lux and used in railway stations around the world in the early 20th century.

The company originates from a merger of two companies—Lux AB and Svenska Elektron AB, the former an established manufacturer and the latter a younger company founded by a former vacuum salesman who had also been an employee of the former firm.[6] The origins of Electrolux are closely tied to the vacuum, but today it also makes major appliances.

Sales company to major manufacturer[edit]

In 1919, a Svenska Elektron AB acquisition,[6] Elektromekaniska AB, became Elektrolux[7] (the spelling was changed to Electrolux in 1957).[8] It initially sold Lux branded vacuum cleaners in several European countries.[7]

In 1923, the company acquired AB Arctic and subsequently added absorption refrigerators to its product line.[9][10] Other appliances soon followed, including washing machines in 1951,[11]dishwashers in 1959,[11] and food service equipment in 1962.[12]

Mergers and acquisitions[edit]

The company has often and regularly expanded through mergers and acquisitions.

While Electrolux had bought several companies before the 1960s, that decade saw the beginnings of a new wave of M&A activity. Fantasy kingdom name generator. The company bought ElektroHelios, Norwegian Elektra, Danish Atlas, Finnish Slev, and Flymo, et al., in the nine years from 1960 to 1969.[12] This style of growth continued through the 1990s, seeing Electrolux purchase scores[13] of companies including, for a time, Husqvarna.[13][14]

Hans Werthen[edit]

Hans Werthen, President and later Chairman of the Board, led the strategic core of an increasingly decentralized Electrolux—and was instrumental to its rapid growth.

Restructuring[edit]

While attempts to cut costs, centralise administration, and wring out economies of scale from Electrolux's operations were made in the 1960s and 1970s[12][13] with the focus so firmly on growth,[13] further company-wide restructuring efforts only began in the late 1990s.[15]

A public company[edit]

Electrolux made an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange in 1928 (it was delisted in 2010)[16] and another on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1930.[10][17]

Built-in

Currently, its shares trade on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Market and over-the-counter.[18] Electrolux is an OMX Nordic 40 constituent stock.

2000 to present[edit]

In North America, the Electrolux name was long used by vacuum cleaner manufacturer Aerus LLC, originally established to sell Swedish Electrolux products. In 2000, Aerus transferred trademark rights back to the Electrolux Group, and ceased using the Electrolux name in 2004.[19]

Conversely, Electrolux-made vacuums carried the Eureka brand name, which Electrolux continued to use while also selling Electrolux branded vacuums after 2000. Electrolux USA customer service maintains a database of Electrolux made vacuums and provides a link to Aerus's website for the convenience of owners of Electrolux branded Aerus vacuums.[20]

Keith McLoughlin took over as President and CEO on January 1, 2011, and became the company's first non Swedish chief executive.

In August 2011, Electrolux acquired from Sigdo Koppers the Chilean appliance manufacturer CTI obtaining several brands with the purchase including: Fensa, Gafa, Mademsa and Somela.[21] On February 6, 2017, Electrolux announced that it had agreed to acquire Anova Applied Electronics, Inc. (company),[22] the U.S.-based provider of the Anova Precision Cooker.[23][24]

Slogan[edit]

Bases Of Electrolux Ovens Crazing

The company's current international slogan is 'Shape living for the Better'. In the past it used to be 'Thinking of you'.[55] In the 1960s the company successfully marketed vacuums in the United Kingdom with the slogan 'Nothing sucks like an Electrolux'.[56]

In the United States, it was frequently assumed that using this slogan was a brand blunder. In fact, the informal American meaning of the word sucks was already well known at the time in the United Kingdom, and the company hoped the slogan, with its possible double entendre, would gain attention.[57] In Indonesia, the Electrolux previous slogans as 'Kalau saja semua seawet Electrolux' (English: If Only All Durable as Electrolux).

Controversy[edit]

In September 2003, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission resolved a complaint that Muslim workers at the St. Cloud factory, Minnesota were not allowed a sufficient number of breaks to observe their daily prayers.[58]

In August 2010, and again in 2011, complaints against the company were filed by Muslim workers in Electrolux's plant in St. Cloud with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The complaint of 2010, that workers were not able to observe Ramadan, was resolved.[59] The complaint of 2011 stems from the thirty minute breaks agreed to in 2010 being later reduced to twenty minutes by Electrolux.[60]

What are these stains on pottery?
They occur due to seepage of moisture through very small (and sometimes invisible to the naked eye) cracks in the glaze often referred to as crazing, crackle or pin holes in the glaze. The penetrated moisture combined with organic matter (Tea & coffee, oil, fat, food, dust, etc.) evolves into a bacteria that typically is brown or black sitting between the glazed craze lines or in the clay body under the glaze. Therefore, scrubbing the surface will not help. Bacteria stains are more likely to occur on earthenware or stoneware due to the ceramic higher porosity allowing the moisture to penetrate deeper and stay wet creating perfect enjoyment for bacteria to flourish. High fire ceramic such as porcelain, which has almost no porosity, will less likely stain.

What is crazing / crackles and why do they happen?
They are a network of lines or cracks in the fired glazed surface. They usually occur at the end of the kiln firing process when the outside surface cools before the clay body under the glaze. Crazing can also happen during the vessel’s life time during rapid temperature changes (day/night, hot water / cold water, etc.). Often, for aesthetics reasons, the crazing effect is introduced by design and on purpose on Japanese, Chinese or Raku dishes or vessels – see examples above. More about crazing
