伊萊克斯與美的集團建立戰略製造合作夥伴關係
Electrolux and Midea Form Strategic Manufacturing Partnership
2026年4月23日，伊萊克斯集團宣布與總部位於中國的美的集團建立一項重要的長期合作夥伴關係，旨在全面重組其北美業務。
On April 23, 2026, the Electrolux Group announced a significant long-term partnership with China-based Midea Group to overhaul its North American operations.
透過將伊萊克斯強大的品牌影響力與美的的製造規模相結合，兩家公司旨在提升創新能力並優化成本效益。
By combining Electrolux’s strong brand presence with Midea’s manufacturing scale, the companies aim to boost innovation and cost efficiency.
這項合作涉及自2026年底開始的三家合資企業，包括銷售合作夥伴關係以及位於墨西哥和南卡羅來納州的製造工廠。
The collaboration involves three joint ventures starting in late 2026, including a sales partnership and manufacturing facilities in Mexico and South Carolina.
此計畫的一大重點是南卡羅來納州安德森工廠的轉型，該廠將從生產冰箱轉為製造洗衣設備。
A major highlight of this plan is the transition of the Anderson, South Carolina factory, which will shift from producing refrigerators to manufacturing laundry equipment.
儘管此轉型將在2026年影響約1,500個現有職位，但預計至2028年將創造多達1,200個新工作機會。
While this transition will impact approximately 1,500 current roles in 2026, it is expected to create up to 1,200 new jobs by 2028.
在財務方面，伊萊克斯正大力投資於此次轉型，並由90億瑞典克朗的供股計畫提供支持。
Financially, Electrolux is investing heavily in this transformation, supported by a SEK 9 billion rights issue.
這項合作夥伴關係初始期限為15年，標誌著該公司在精簡營運及確保北美家電市場長期成長方面邁出了關鍵的一步。
With an initial 15-year term, this partnership marks a major step in the company's effort to streamline operations and ensure long-term growth in the competitive North American home appliance market.
