Initially, our plant focused on products of the middle price segment. We produced household appliances that are easy and quickly to assemble. By 2023, our range has changed a lot. We generally switched to the production of inverter washing machines, which require additional boards to control inverters, many additional functions, and moreover we also launched panel-type washing machines and washing machines with dryer function. We now produce premium class refrigerators with advanced features. Assembling of such kind equipment is much more difficult; it requires more time and human resources.

Of course, to produce a million units of difficult-to-manufacture products turned out to be not so easy. We have been working towards this result for a long time and have performed a lot of preparatory work. In 2023, the assembly line for the production of washing machines and refrigerators was completely modernized, and the number of jobs with advanced productivity was increased. All this allowed us to increase production of complicated models.

I would also like to mention an important role played by the fruitful work of our colleagues from the Moscow office. They actively develop the presence of Beko products on the market. In the near future we plan to increase our market share to 20%. And we, as a production site, also work towards the company development. And if in 2023 we managed to produce a million units of equipment, then this year we will try to increase this figure to 1.2 million. In order to achieve this result, the refrigerator assembly line began working in three shifts in January, and in February it was combined with the washing machine production line, which has never occurred at our plant before.

And now I want not only congratulate our team on the record result, but also wish all of us new, equally impressive victories!
