Cant wait to see what these look like or how they will operate. I cant imagine Electrolux going to all the trouble to engineer such a machine solely for the Australian market, so I am wondering maybe if Frigidaire would be offering such a machine as well... |

...earlier this week that Electrolux is going to launch in the US starting this spring. Of course I can't find the article now, but did find this under Google News: Electrolux AB's chief executive Hans Straaberg said that despite the dark clouds forming above the US economy, now is still a good time to carry out the major product launch into the premium segment that the company has planned. He made the statement at a press and analysts conference in connection with the fourth quarter results. Straaberg said that doing the US launch now will give the company 'great' leverage when the cycle turns back up, and noted that at times like this retailers are more interested in changing products and in testing new ideas. 'We have a good product offering,' he said, adding: 'We are confident that this is the right time.' Fredrik Rystedt, chief financial officer said group restructuring costs in 2008 will amount to less than 1 bln skr, and he sees capex at 'roughly' the same level as in 2007 (3.4 bln skr). 'We have hopes that we will be able to increase prices in North America, but also in Europe as well,' Rystedt said. |
