Midea Group завершила приобретение Residentia Group и объединила бизнес по производству бытовой техники в Австралии

Midea Group has completed its acquisition of shares in Residentia Group. Following Australian regulatory approvals, Midea Group now holds a majority of shares in Residentia Group with the two home appliances businesses coming together to operate as ‘Midea Residentia Australia’ moving forward. “The joint venture combines Midea Group’s strong growing brand matrix, technology, R&D, innovation, global manufacturing scale and supply-chain capabilities with Residentia Group’s well-established local operating platform,” a statement from Midea said. “All business will continue to operate as usual in the near-term. The home appliance businesses of both companies will be integrated progressively, with business continuity, service quality and effective support for retail and trade partners remaining key priorities throughout the process. “The joint venture reflects Midea’s long-term commitment to this market and to supporting the evolution of Australia’s home appliance industry. It provides a platform to respond more effectively to Australian consumer needs and deliver more local innovations, while deepening cooperation with business partners to support the sustainable long-term growth for both Midea and its partners.” Midea Group operates 41 R&D centres worldwide, including 29 outside China. Its international R&D network supports continuous innovation in product design, engineering, smart-home technology, energy efficiency, quality and user experience. These capabilities will support the introduction of products and solutions aligned with the requirements of Australian consumers and market conditions. The joint venture between Midea and Residentia Group was first announced in April 2026 that the two companies described as a “deliberate partnership between two complimentary forces”. More recently, the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) shared an update on the proposed acquisition in July 2026. The ACCC prepared a questionnaire on the acquisition with the assessment estimated to conclude on 7 August 2026.
