Topic 2-Describing a company

I'd like to welcome you all to Electrolux, and give you a brief introduction to the company.

As you know, Electrolux is a Swedish company with its head office here in Stockholm.

Now I expect when you hear the name ’Electrolux’ you probably think of a refrigerator or a fridge as we usually call it or maybe a vacuum cleaner, and in fact these were the company’s first two products.

Electrolux started as a company in 1921 when it produced the world’s first vacuum cleaner. Four years later, in 1925, it produced its first refrigerator, and these are still two of its best-known products.

Today it employs 81,971 people and sells it products in more than 150 countries.
Its worldwide turnover in 2002 was 14,552 million euros.

That’s all I’ll say about the company. I hope that gives you a general idea to start with. I’ll be happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your listening. ______________________________________
