The household appliance industry has been an extremely important sector of Polish economy for many years.
The production of about 22 million devices of large and small household appliances puts Poland in the first place among European producers in this sector.
Household Appliance Congress is not only a forum to exchange ideas, but also to discuss topics crucial for the sector with important representatives and experts from home appliance industry, including government representatives. The second day of Congress consists of Business Mixer – a meeting of producers, sub-suppliers and service providers, among others startups offering innovative products and services.
Congress will be a perfect place to exchange contacts, experiences and B2B conversations.
"What do I value most about the AGD Congress? I think it’s its unconventional nature. I’ve attended it many times, yet each time I leave enriched with new insights and ideas that weren’t obvious to me before. This is largely thanks to the wide range of participants—from industry experts and political decision-makers to companies just entering the household appliance sector, who bring fresh perspectives on key areas for the industry."
CEO of Electrolux Poland Ltd.
"I am proud that, together with the Lodz Special Economic Zone, we have created the largest household appliance industry event in Europe. For the seventh time, I have the great pleasure of inviting you to take part in a broad discussion on the threats, opportunities, and technological innovations shaping our sector. I firmly believe that the Congress contributes to strengthening our industry, which has recently been facing significant challenges."
President of the Association of Employers of Household Appliances APPLiA Poland, Vice President of the National Chamber of Commerce
"The entire Polish household appliance industry together with key decision-makers, right in the heart of the country. Does the AGD Congress need a better recommendation? I'm glad to once again take part in inspiring discussions with representatives of the government and local authorities, as well as with other players from the home appliance market."
Head of Central Europe Corporate Comms & Public Affairs at Beko Europe
"In recent years, the household appliance industry in Poland has undergone dynamic changes. Factors such as the development of artificial intelligence, the emergence of new market players, and an evolving economic environment all play a role. The annual AGD Congress is a perfect opportunity to meet market leaders and engage in dialogue about these challenges, as well as the future directions of the industry in the years to come."
VP Head of Consumer Electronics w Samsung Electronics Poland
"Safety, people, investment, sustainable manufacturing… These are concepts I work with every day, but the AGD Congress approaches them from a different angle—adding value. This is possible because the event brings together not only experts from the household appliance industry, but also professionals from other sectors, who serve as an additional source of inspiration for me."
Vice-President of the Management Board of Amica
"For the past 7 years, the Grohman Factory in Łódź has transformed during the AGD Congress into a platform for exchanging experiences, filtering challenges, and identifying risks between market leaders and their partners. We are determined to continue fostering and expanding this dialogue—now conducted on a truly European level."
President of the Board Lodz SEZ
"Market unpredictability, the pace of technological change, and growing consumer expectations demand flexibility and dialogue from us today. The Household Appliances Congress has become a place where these challenges are not only identified but also tackled collectively. Here—within an atmosphere of openness and substance—the real direction for the entire industry is being shaped."
President of the Management Board of BSH in Poland, President of the APPLiA Poland
"The Household Appliances Congress is much more than just an industry gathering—it’s a place where the exchange of practical knowledge inspires bold thinking about the future. After each edition, I return with a new outlook on technological development, cross-sector collaboration, and the role of people in an ever-changing reality. This year, I’ll also have the pleasure of taking part in a discussion panel, where I look forward not only to sharing experiences, but also to gaining fresh insights and discoveries that will help me view business challenges from a completely new perspective."
