Electrolux Raises SEK 9 Billion, Reshapes Global Footprint in Midea-Backed Overhaul

Electrolux AB ( ($SE:ELUX.B) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Electrolux Group is launching a major overhaul of its operations and balance sheet, anchored by a fully underwritten rights issue of about SEK 9 billion to fund growth initiatives and bolster financial resilience. The program includes a strategic manufacturing and sales partnership with China’s Midea Group in North American refrigeration and laundry, expected to improve innovation, cut costs and gradually deliver significant efficiency gains while also entailing sizeable non-recurring charges and workforce changes.

The company will also deploy proceeds to optimize its global manufacturing footprint, including previously announced factory closures in Chile and Hungary, targeting better capacity utilization, a net reduction of roughly 3,000 jobs and material cost savings over three years. Remaining funds will support broader growth projects and balance-sheet strengthening, reinforcing Electrolux’s push to remain competitive in a challenging appliance market and to accelerate progress toward its long-term financial targets.
