Despite the challenging economic climate, 2009 was another successful year of innovation for Hoover Candy Group.
Under the Hoover brand, we introduced the Dynamic 10 washing machine, breaking the capacity barrier at the time with its 10kg load. Typical of the products we’re committed to bringing to market across built-in and freestanding, the Dynamic 10 answered demand for energy efficient products that delivered on performance and style.
In October, we launched the Aristocrat range at the CIH trade show, providing independent retailers with the collateral they needed to rival the best on the market, with high specification products that provided real value for money. That same month, our Candy U-SEE oven was awarded the gold standard for product innovation at the Design Awards. The LED lights featured in the U-SEE’s unique lighting system use 95% less energy then a conventional oven.
Energy consumption will continue to be a key issue into 2010, and that’s why we’re committed to not only developing technology which offers significant savings and reductions, but minimising our own consumption. Since 2000, the Hoover Candy Group has cut CO2 emissions by 29% and energy consumption by 21%. The amount of industrial waste recycled by Hoover Candy has risen to 84.7%.
In a challenging market, Hoover Candy products offer retailers the opportunity to capitalise on a well-known and trusted brand. With over a hundred years’ experience in domestic appliances, combined with insightful research and innovative technology, products from Hoover Candy offer a real point of difference.
