Parent company: AB Electrolux (publ)
| Person | Role | Evidence note |
|---|---|---|
| Yannick Fierling | President and CEO | Electrolux Group's 2025 annual report identifies Yannick Fierling as President and CEO from 1 January 2025. |

| Category | Positioning | Buyer relevance |
|---|---|---|
| Major kitchen and laundry appliances | Core household appliances sold across Electrolux, AEG and regional brand structures. | Confirm the brand, regional seller, electrical specification and after-sales route for the destination market. |
| Vacuum cleaners and small appliances | Floorcare, air-quality and smaller domestic-appliance categories within the Group's wellbeing offer. | Model availability and factory origin cannot be inferred from the group brand alone. |
| AEG premium appliances | Premium European positioning within the group alongside Electrolux and regional brands. | Validate whether the AEG mark is licensed, owned or operated by the local contracting entity. |
| Frigidaire and regional brands | North American and local-market brand architecture alongside the global Electrolux offer. | Use local catalogues and terms rather than assuming a universal assortment. |


| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Electrolux Group's annual reporting describes a global parent and direct and indirect subsidiaries around the world. | Listed-group disclosure | Identify the exact subsidiary that will manufacture, import or warrant the contracted product. |
| The Group reports its leading brand portfolio and regional business areas, not one factory assignment for every appliance. | Group portfolio disclosure | Verify origin and responsible manufacturer on product declarations and labels. |
| Historic links to AEG and Eureka involve distinct trademark and ownership paths. | Brand-history boundary | Do not use an historic brand relationship as a present factory or ownership assertion. |
| Evidence | Scope | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| Electrolux Group says its leading brands sell household products in around 120 markets. | Company-reported reach | Confirm the current brand presence and service availability in the target country. |
| The Group uses different leading brands and market positions across regions. | Brand architecture | Match the buying entity and brand program to the destination market. |
| Product, retailer and warranty details are regionally administered. | Local commercial execution | Obtain current local reseller authorization and warranty terms before launch. |
World Clean Biz assessment: Electrolux has the scale and multi-brand reach of a listed global appliance group, while the buyer-side challenge is precision. Electrolux, AEG, Frigidaire and historic brand relationships make brand recognition easy but can obscure the entity, factory, retailer and service provider responsible for a specific SKU.
