For Electrolux, the acquisition will significantly increase its activity. It 'was one of the world's largest producer of household appliances and industrial equipment, has recorded a turnover of 109 billion Swedish kronor, or about $ 15.9 billion last year. But appliances and lighting division of GE alone generates $ 8.3 billion in revenue during the same period. 

Electrolux has attracted almost half of its sales in the United States, with kitchen appliances that make up 60 percent of sales.

Since the financial crisis in the fall of 2008, Jeffrey R. Immelt, CEO of GE, has tried to bring attention to the core business of the company industry.
