As part of the first-phase investments, existing capacities at the refrigerator, washing machine, cooking appliances and tumble dryer plants have been increased with new machinery and production line investments while a new factory investment has been initiated for capacity expansion in dishwasher production. As of currently, the construction of the new dishwasher plant and installation of production lines are completed while the installation and commissioning of the lines transferred from the old dishwasher plant are planned to be completed by the end of March. With the commissioning of these lines, the Company’s annual production capacity will increase by 29% compared to year-end 2020.

A total EUR 131 million of investment has been made to date within the scope of this capacity expansion program. Investment incentives such as corporate tax break, customs duty exemption, and VAT exemption have been utilized for the said investment. The evaluation process for the second-stage investments is still ongoing and developments will be shared with the public.
