SEOUL, South Korea, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its new dishwasher lineup at EuroCucina – the international kitchen exhibition held as part of Milan Design Week – taking place at Fiera Milano in Milan, Italy, from April 21-26.

New models have been engineered specifically for the European market, delivering the speed, performance and energy efficiency that local consumers demand.

LG Electronics will showcase its new 'LG Built-in' Dishwasher lineup designed specifically for the European market to deliver speed, performance and energy efficiency at EuroCucina 2026.

Faster, More Effective Cleaning and Drying

The new LG Dishwasher completes a full wash and dry cycle in just one hour, applying LG's latest dishwashing technologies to improve overall performance. QuadWash™ Pro generates micro-bubbles that allow detergent to penetrate food residue more effectively, improving cleaning across a wider range of dishware and soiling levels while reducing the need for pre-rinsing. Dynamic Heat Dry+ uses a material that generates heat as it absorbs humidity inside the dishwasher. This improves air circulation, shortens drying time and lowers energy consumption. These functions are complemented by TrueSteam, which minimizes water marks for a spotless finish.*

Intelligent Operation With Advanced AI

With the AI SenseClean™ cycle, the new dishwasher uses a digital turbidity sensor to detect soiling levels during the pre-wash, main wash and rinse stages. Based on this data, the system automatically adjusts water temperature, rinse count and detergent amount, with up to 32 possible combinations, to tailor cleaning performance and enhance user convenience.

Machine learning further enhances operation by enabling faster and more energy-efficient cleaning for lighter loads while facilitating a thorough and effective wash for heavily soiled items.

Designed for the Modern European Household

The new model integrates seamlessly with built-in cabinetry commonly found in modern European kitchens. Its flat design aligns with surrounding cupboards and drawers for a clean and consistent aesthetic.

Inside, the adjustable EasyRack™ Plus system elevates usability and convenience, providing the flexibility to accommodate a variety of different dishware. The Bottle Wash function delivers precise, targeted cleaning for bottles and deep cups using dedicated upper nozzles, while a hidden LED display shows remaining cycle time and an interior light improves visibility when loading and unloading.

The lineup also caters to two priorities often associated with the European market: low noise and energy efficiency. A select model operates at noise levels as low as 37dB, helping maintain a pleasantly quiet home environment, while A-grade energy efficiency is available across key models in both premium and volume segments.

"The new dishwasher lineup reflects our focus on improving core washing and drying performance, and on delivering features and design tailored to the preferences and lifestyles of European customers," said Baek Seung-tae, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company.

LG welcomes EuroCucina 2026 attendees to experience its innovative home solutions firsthand at Milan Design Week (Stand C24 and C31, Hall 4, EuroCucina/FTK: Fiera Milano, Milan, Italy).

* TrueSteam is an optional wash-cycle feature that must be selected by the user.

Neue Führung, alte Ziele: Porsche bestätigt Ausblick trotz Sonderkosten

30.04.2026

Porsche startet mit einem deutlichen Dämpfer ins Jahr, hält aber an seinen Zielen fest. Der Sport- und Geländewagenbauer setzte im ersten Quartal rund 8,4 Milliarden Euro um, ein Rückgang von etwa 5 Prozent im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Das operative Konzernergebnis sank um gut ein Fünftel auf 595 Millionen Euro, die operative Umsatzrendite ging von 8,6 auf 7,1 Prozent zurück. Unter dem Strich fiel der Gewinn nach Steuern um rund ein Viertel auf 391 Millionen Euro. An der Börse kamen die Zahlen dennoch vergleichsweise gut an: In einem schwachen Gesamtmarkt legte die Aktie um 1,6 Prozent auf 41,17 Euro zu.

Analysten hatten im Vorfeld bereits mit einem Gewinnrückgang gerechnet, unter anderem wegen des anhaltend schwierigen Umfelds in China und höherer Belastungen in den USA. Im Konsens war von einem Ergebnisminus von etwa 25 Prozent und einer niedrigeren Rendite ausgegangen worden. Citi-Analyst Harald Henrikse hob hervor, dass sich die operative Marge im Kerngeschäft ohne Sonderkosten bei rund 8 Prozent stabilisiere – angesichts des derzeitigen Absatzniveaus sei das bemerkenswert und deute darauf hin, dass Porsche die Talsohle bei der Profitabilität erreicht haben könnte. Jefferies verwies darauf, dass das operative Ergebnis rund sieben Prozent über den Markterwartungen gelegen habe, gestützt durch das Modellmix und eine disziplinierte Preisstrategie.

Das Management führt den Rückgang der Auslieferungen – minus 14,7 Prozent auf 60.991 Fahrzeuge – auf eine gezielte Volumensteuerung zurück. Die Strategie "Value over Volume" priorisiert Margen über Stückzahlen und wird durch eine stärkere Gewichtung renditestarker Modelle wie GT-Varianten untermauert. Gleichzeitig lasten Sondereffekte auf den Zahlen: Finanzchef Jochen Breckner bezifferte die im Quartal angefallenen Sonderkosten für den laufenden Strategiewechsel auf rund 100 Millionen Euro, für das Gesamtjahr werden 800 bis 900 Millionen Euro erwartet. Zusätzlich schlagen höhere US-Importzölle mit etwa 200 Millionen Euro allein im ersten Quartal zu Buche.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bestätigt Porsche seinen Ausblick für das Gesamtjahr. Der Konzern rechnet weiterhin mit einem Umsatz zwischen 35 und 36 Milliarden Euro und einer operativen Umsatzrendite von 5,5 bis 7,5 Prozent. Die derzeitige Marge von 7,1 Prozent liegt damit am oberen Ende der Spanne, dürfte aber im weiteren Jahresverlauf stärker von Sonderkosten belastet werden. Der Umbau unter dem neuen Vorstandschef Michael Leiters, der das Unternehmen nach einem massiven Ergebniseinbruch im vergangenen Jahr in den Krisenmodus geführt hat, könnte bereits vor dem für Oktober angesetzten Kapitalmarkttag weitere strategische Entscheidungen bringen. Mögliche Auswirkungen des Iran-Konflikts sind in der Prognose bislang nicht berücksichtigt.
