Electrolux Major Appliances

Electrolux is a cornerstone of the global home appliance industry, with a heritage that dates back to the early 20th century. The company’s journey began in Sweden with the merger of two companies, Lux AB and Svenska Elektron AB, leading to the creation of a brand that would revolutionize household cleaning and cooking forever. Historically recognized for inventing the first luxury vacuum cleaner and the first absorption refrigerator, Electrolux has expanded its footprint to become one of the world's largest appliance manufacturers.

Today, the manufacturing of Electrolux products takes place across a vast global network. While the company maintains a significant presence in Europe—specifically in Sweden, Italy, and Poland—it also operates large-scale production facilities in North America, South America, and Asia to serve local and international markets efficiently. The brand is now the flagship of the AB Electrolux Group, which oversees several other prominent household names like Frigidaire, AEG, and Zanussi.

Ownership of the brand remains rooted in its Swedish origins through AB Electrolux. The company is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stockholm, with Investor AB—an investment firm controlled by the prominent Wallenberg family—serving as its largest shareholder. This structure ensures that while the company operates as a global multinational, its strategic and cultural direction remains closely tied to Swedish industrial tradition.
