Bye, bye CECED, welcome APPLiA!

CECED 60 Anniversary

Leading an association with 60 years of history for me is an honour and a tremendous challenge. Representing an innovative, sustainable and forward-looking industry while keeping in mind that coffee machines, fridges, washing machines, air conditioners and all other home appliances serve Europeans daily, has been a key driver for our work. Citizens have witnessed great technological evolution, and this is also why I would agree with the South Korean economist, Ha-Joon Chang who said that the washing machine has been a more important invention than the Internet. Undoubtedly, the association would not be what it is today if we were not sitting on the shoulder of giants. The fine mix between the knowledge of our members and a competent, motivated team has proved to be a working formula for success.

Come and celebrate with us this more than a special day. It is an excellent opportunity to witness the tipping point where the past will meet the future. This is only the beginning.

CECED has successfully facilitated the dialogue between regulators, society and industry. The association has enabled our company and the whole home appliance sector to find winning consumer solutions and to contribute to the growth of our industry. Building on 60 years of history, we are committed to continue to improve the lives of hundreds of millions of European citizens with innovative products and services promoting sustainable lifestyles for consumers.

LG Electronics joined CECED in 2011 therefore, we are a relatively new member. However, we are happy to celebrate the 60th anniversary of CECED together with all members, both old and new.

Our Association is a unique platform to consolidate and promote the home appliance industry’s vision on societal, environmental and economic issues that impact the lives of EU citizens. Last but not least, it offers a great link with the policymaking community. I value a lot the work we have achieved together, and I am honoured to serve as CECED President since 2014.
