Gorenje's sales strategy in Asia is uniform for all markets of our operations (Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, Thailand etc.). Recognition and distinctiveness are built by offering only high-end home appliances, at premium kitchen studios and department stores. We also have our own showrooms intended both for the final users and interior designers and property investors, i.e. those that decide about the equipment of apartments.

Andy Miklav, director Gorenje Asia: »In Asia, most apartments are sold by the key-in-hand principle and a lot of equipment, especially kitchen appliances, is selected by investors as the customers simply do not have the time to deal with such decisions themselves; in addition, designer equipment in apartments is a strong sales argument.«
