For more than five decades, Arctic—a well-established Romanian label—has reaffirmed its popularity amongst shoppers, solidifying its reputation as a reliable provider of affordable and long-lasting goods designed specifically for the everyday requirements of Romanian households. As per an impartial survey carried out by ICERTIAS, an internationally recognized certifier from Switzerland, people in Romania consider Arctic to deliver superior bang-for-buck within their domestic appliances sector.

Innovative Sustainability Drawn from Actual Experience

Arctic is a brand that grows with the lifestyles of Romanians, providing smart and effective answers to today’s demands of modern households. Their offerings are crafted thoughtfully, considering conservation of resources, human well-being, and long-term impacts, making advanced tech accessible and innovating primarily within daily routines. From kitchen appliances tailored for both style and function in present-day homes, to stoves that simplify yet enhance culinary activities; from fridges to highly power-efficient washers and driers, Arctic establishes itself as a down-to-earth label focused on practical sustainability. Designed for newer demographics and blending toughness with performance, their items aim at fostering a harmonious living pattern and encouraging wiser decisions.

This method led to Arctic being recognized by customers as the top brand in home appliances regarding cost-effectiveness, earning them the Best Buy Award 2024/2025 from ICERTIAS – Zurich, Switzerland.

Additionally, during the same timeframe, the BrandRo analysis managed by Biz and carried out by Unlock Market Research positioned Arctic amongst Romania’s favorite brands and at the forefront of eco-friendly household equipment.

Cutting-Edge Technology Made in Romania

For more than five decades in Romania, Arctic has established itself as one of the country’s premier brands, ranking within the top five most beloved according to the BrandRO survey carried out by Unlock Market Research—a standalone research firm—and featured in Biz magazine for the period covering 2024-2025. This esteemed position also includes leadership in the sustainability sector. Situated in Găești, the original manufacturing facility for Arctic’s initial lineup of appliances has grown into one of Europe’s major hubs for household equipment production. Following its acquisition by Beko back in 2002, ongoing capital investment spurred growth in both output levels and technological sophistication. By April 2025, this plant achieved an impressive landmark with the assembly of over 45 million fridges since commencing operations.

The metamorphosis of Arctic into a standard for sustainability embodies the forward-thinking strategy of Beko Romania, overseeing two crucial European production facilities: the Găești plant—where heritage converges with efficiency—and the Ulmi facility, acknowledged globally as one of the foremost examples of environmentally conscious industry. The Ulmi site stands out due to its state-of-the-art tech, digital integration, and eco-friendly practices, earning recognition from the World Economic Forum as a beacon of sustainability. Here at Ulmi, Beko Romania outlines the next chapter in household appliance fabrication through innovative technologies, digital advancements, and ecological stewardship.

“Sustainability is integrated into our company’s decision-making process at all levels. Each investment, product development, and operational choice considers its impact on individuals, communities, and the natural world. As a market leader, my belief is that we must not just fulfill current demands but also foresee what will be significant in the years ahead. For Beko Romania, this foresight involves enhancing efficiency, adopting cleaner technologies, and ensuring genuine long-term economic benefits,” he declared.
