Whirlpool Corporation Welcome

At EuroCucina 2018, Whirlpool Corporation, the world’s leading major home appliance company, will be showcasing product innovations, inspirational elements and latest designs from its four brands, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Indesit. The Whirlpool stand will tell the story of how breakthroughs in design and technology will transform the food journey: From planning meals, to storing food, to cooking and cleaning – innovative appliances can transform every step towards simpler, more enjoyable dining and make exceptional food part of everyday life.

Whirlpool Corporation is excited about the new challenges and opportunities ahead in 2018. The company is preparing the ground for the growth of meaningful innovation, delivered through a winning portfolio of complementary brands which addresses the full spectrum of consumer segments.

“This year at EuroCucina Whirlpool will showcase its four pan-European brands KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Hotpoint and Indesit together in a single, inspiring space. Whirlpool invests over 4% of annual sales in research and development to continuously nurture innovation. – states Norbert Schmidt, Whirlpool EMEA Vice President, Market Operations, Products & Brands“As of today, consumers have reached a high level of awareness of the Connectivity world and they are more and more often looking for smart appliances that are easy to use and truly able to improve the standard of living. While in the 90s and early 2000s, the whole focus was on performance efficiency, we are now moving to a world of elevated efficiency through connectivity and smart technology”.

The Whirlpool Corporation stand at EuroCucina (A11-A15-B14-B18) is arranged as a living space of about 1,700m2 in which visitors can gain a real-world experience of products and their features, offering practical insight on how innovations such as connectivity can improve the way people interact with food. By letting consumers simplify household tasks, connected appliances can help take the stress out from daily life and take pleasure in other things.

The company will offer solutions that recognize the trend of consumers embracing more social, digitized lives, focusing on customer-centric design and technology that works in harmony with today’s lifestyle choices. One of such solutions is Whirlpool’s new oven featuring Google Assistant for voice control, that will be featured for the first time. Whirlpool will also be introducing increasingly user-friendly interfaces across each of its complementary brands, helping to make every step of the consumer’s personal food journey simpler and more pleasurable.

Our stand will also host #PlacesthatMatter, the new Whirlpool project which aims at telling the stories of our manufacturing sites in the Europe, Middle East and Africa Region, through the eyes of Whirlpool’s employees and local communities. These places matter and have stories to tell. In them, people’s lives meet with the wider social and industrial fabric, showing a continuous exchange of experiences, values and roots.

Moreover, each Whirlpool product reflects the company’s corporate responsibility and sustainability strategies. In 2014, Whirlpool set and reaffirmed four Global Sustainability Goals of energy intensity, water intensity, zero waste to landfill and material transparency. Whirlpool has met some of these targets ahead of schedule. Through both accelerated projects and acquisition synergies, the company exceeded the 15% energy and water intensity goals three years early. 2017 was a year of learning and transition for Whirlpool Corporation’s global Critical Materials Management (CMM) team, continuing down the path towards full material transparency on 90% of all new parts by 2020.
