Integrated Six‑Category Lineup Designed for Efficiency,
Space Optimization and AI‑Driven Performance
News Summary
SEOUL, South Korea, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its new "LG Built-in" full package for the first time at EuroCucina, the international kitchen exhibition held as part of Milan Design Week, taking place April 20–26 at Fiera Milano in Rho, Italy. The presentation marks an expansion of LG's built-in offering in Europe, moving beyond its initial‑ focus on cooking appliances to introduce a more complete kitchen lineup spanning refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing.
With this expanded portfolio, LG outlines a new approach to built-in kitchens – one that moves beyond traditional market conventions centered on heritage and technical specifications. Guided by the company's "Built for Your Today" concept, the new package prioritizes practical, everyday needs such as energy efficiency, spatial optimization and overall user experience. Built on LG's Affectionate Intelligence, this approach positions built-in appliances as an integrated and intelligent spatial solution rather than a collection of individual products.
Built-in Solutions for European Kitchen Environments
Responding to rising energy costs and shrinking kitchen spaces across Europe, the LG Built-in full package brings together energy efficiency, flexible space design and intelligent performance across the entire kitchen – rather than optimizing individual appliances in isolation. The six new product lines are designed around three core user benefits: maximum efficiency to help manage energy consumption, maximum capacity to enable greater flexibility in kitchen design and AI-powered performance to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Refrigeration
The Wide Combi Refrigerator takes an intelligent approach to food storage by combining high energy efficiency, large capacity and adaptive cooling performance. Powered by an AI Inverter Compressor, it achieves Agrade energy efficiency by adjusting cooling performance on realtime usage. With 384 liters of spacious capacity, the refrigerator includes DoorCooling+™ for rapid cooling in the door basket and a FRESHConverter+™ drawer that allows customized temperature settings based on food type. AI Fresh mode learns usage patterns and precools the refrigerator during periods of heavier use to help maintain storage conditions.
Cooking Appliances
With built-in intelligence and convenience, the Camera Oven is designed to elevate cooking from start to finish. Using an internal camera, AI Gourmet™ identifies food and recommends an appropriate cooking setting, while No Preheat Air Cooking supports faster cooking without preheating. The InstaView™ window illuminates the interior when knocked, allowing easy progress checks while preventing heat loss. EasyClean™ simplifies post-meal cleanup with a 10-minute steam cycle.
The Compact Oven is a space-saving 6-in-1 Multi Oven, combining convection baking, air frying, steaming and microwave functions to support greater flexibility in the kitchen. Its advanced Combi Mode combines convection heat with microwave energy to cook food more quickly while maintaining texture.
Both ovens feature Inverter ProBake™, LG's core cooking technology, which delivers a constant flow of heat to every corner of the oven for more even results. High-speed airflow also helps reduce cooking time.
Induction Cooktops
Designed for modern, open-plan kitchens, the Hood Integrated Induction Cooktop combines a downdraft ventilation system that captures steam at the source. Its powerful extraction capacity is balanced by quiet operation, contributing to a more comfortable atmosphere in open kitchen environments. The 189-millimeter ultra-slim body also helps maximize under-counter drawer space and creates an unobstructed sightline suited to island counters. Its refined design, balancing functional performance with intuitive usability, was recognized with an iF Design Award 2026.
The Full-Flex Induction Cooktop offers greater freedom by allowing cookware of different sizes and shapes to be placed anywhere across its Full‑Flex surface. Heat is delivered precisely where needed, removing the limitations of fixed cooking zones and supporting more flexible cooking arrangements. Smart features such as the Water Boiling Alert help reduce spillover risk by automatically lowering heat after boiling is detected.
Dishwashing
LG's new Dishwasher combines advanced washing and drying technologies to complete a full cycle in one hour. QuadWash™ Pro uses four spray arms with high-pressure water jets and microbubbles to clean dishes from multiple angles. Dynamic Heat Dry+ uses a moisture-absorbing material to remove humidity and produce warm, dry air with improved energy efficiency. TrueSteam™ applies high-temperature steam to sanitize dishes and help reduce water spots. Notably, A-grade energy efficiency is available across key models, spanning both premium and volume segments.
"Our 'Built for Your Today' concept reflects a more balanced approach to the kitchen experience – one that responds to consumer needs for energy efficiency, space utilization and everyday usability," said Baek Seung-tae, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. "Through this approach, we aim to strengthen LG's position as a premium brand in the European built-in market."

Die Porsche Holding Salzburg hat 2025 das beste Geschäftsjahr ihrer Firmengeschichte erzielt und ist nach 2020 erneut zum umsatzstärksten Unternehmen Österreichs aufgestiegen. Der Umsatz kletterte von 28,7 Milliarden Euro im Jahr 2024 auf 40,7 Milliarden Euro, ein Plus von gut 42 Prozent. Das Automobilhandelsunternehmen ist von Salzburg aus in 29 Ländern auf drei Kontinenten aktiv und profitiert zunehmend von seiner breiten internationalen Aufstellung.
Haupttreiber des Sprungs war die Übernahme der Großhandelsverantwortung für die Volkswagen-Konzernmarken in Italien und Schweden. Beide neuen Märkte steuerten 2025 zusammen mehr als ein Viertel zum Gesamtumsatz bei und ließen die Holding bei Stückzahlen und Erlösen in neue Dimensionen wachsen. Im Großhandel verdoppelte sich der Umsatz dank der zusätzlichen Absatzmärkte von 11,3 Milliarden Euro auf 24,6 Milliarden Euro. Der Neuwagenabsatz im Groß- und Einzelhandel legte um 65,6 Prozent auf 912.034 Fahrzeuge zu.
Auch ohne Italien und Schweden fällt die Bilanz der vergangenen Jahre deutlich positiv aus. Seit Beginn der Pandemie 2020 erhöhte die Porsche Holding ihren Umsatz in den bestehenden Märkten von 21,5 Milliarden Euro auf 30,8 Milliarden Euro. Im Einzelhandel gelang es, das Ergebnis 2025 trotz volatiler Rahmenbedingungen, schärferem Wettbewerb und spürbaren Rückgängen in China leicht zu übertreffen; der Umsatz stieg hier minimal auf 20 Milliarden Euro. Im traditionell starken Markt China verzeichnete die Holding dagegen bereits das dritte Jahr in Folge deutliche Umsatzrückgänge, was ein noch besseres Einzelhandelsresultat verhinderte.
Die Zahl der Mitarbeiter blieb trotz des massiven Umsatzanstiegs weitgehend stabil. Weltweit beschäftigte die Porsche Holding 2025 rund 36.917 Menschen, ein Rückgang von lediglich 0,3 Prozent. Die Zahl der Händlerstandorte verringerte sich um elf auf 487. Vorstandssprecher Hans Peter Schützinger betonte, dass für das Unternehmen nicht die reine Umsatzgröße im Vordergrund stehe, sondern Kundenzufriedenheit, Profitabilität, Effizienz und Resilienz. Das Geschäftsmodell habe sich 2025 angesichts angespannter wirtschaftlicher und politischer Rahmenbedingungen als widerstandsfähig erwiesen; die vollständige Abdeckung der automobilen Wertschöpfungskette ermögliche es, regionale Marktschwankungen innerhalb der Unternehmensgruppe auszugleichen.
