Electrolux Group has completed Memphis factory divestment
Electrolux Group has divested its factory in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, for a cash consideration of USD 35m (approx. SEK 350m).
The gain of approximately USD 25m (approx. SEK 250m) from the divestment will be recorded as a non-recurring item, positively impacting the operating income in business area North America during the fourth quarter of 2023.
The divestment follows a previous agreement, under which the intended buyer chose to terminate the agreement at the end of the due diligence period due to changed financial circumstances.
The divestment is part of the actions to divest non-core assets, which were communicated on July 20, 2023.
The Group’s production in Memphis stopped on June 30, 2022, and the operations have been transferred to the new facility in Springfield, Tennessee.
