Beko

What Beko does

Beko is the global corporate brand and operating identity for Arçelik A.Ş., a publicly listed Turkish home appliance manufacturer (Istanbul Stock Exchange: ARCLK) founded in 1955 and headquartered in Istanbul. The company manufactures and distributes refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens, cooking appliances, air conditioners, and small domestic appliances under a portfolio of 22 consumer brands including Beko, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Bauknecht, Grundig, Arctic, Indesit, Defy, Dawlance, and Voltas Beko. Its technology platform centers on the HomeWhiz connected ecosystem, which unifies appliance connectivity and energy/water monitoring across all brands, supported by proprietary hardware technologies: EnergySpin washing machines (up to 35% energy reduction), PowerIntense dishwashers (5.9 liters per cycle with up to 5x cleaning performance), AI AdaptiveCool refrigerators (up to 20% energy savings), HarvestFresh and VitalCare food-preservation systems, and Cook4 multi-dish oven technology. The R&D footprint spans 28 centers across 12 countries with 2,000+ researchers and 4,500+ international patent applications.

Beko operates 45+ production facilities across 13 countries — including WEF Global Lighthouse Network-recognized sites in Manisa, Ankara, and Ulmi (Romania) — with combined annual capacity of roughly 24 million units for Beko Europe alone. Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales distributed across enterprise field sales to European retail chains, independent retailers and dealers in 55+ countries, e-commerce platforms, and regional distributors in emerging markets. Pricing is set at the retail channel level rather than via direct-to-consumer models. Customer segments include value-conscious consumers, premium/design-conscious consumers, European retail chains, and emerging-market consumers (Africa, South Asia, Middle East). Sustainability and energy efficiency are positioned as core differentiators: 71.5% of turnover derives from low-carbon products and 61.9% from energy-efficient products, with the company holding S&P Global's highest CSA score in DHP Household Durables for seven consecutive years, CDP Double A status, EcoVadis Gold, and SBTi-validated 1.5°C targets. Consolidated turnover reached €10.7 billion in 2025, with over 50,000 employees globally.
