Last Thursday, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Slovenia presented the awards for innovations launched in 2008. Among the recipients of the most coveted CCIS Gold Award were also the innovators from Gorenje, who won the honours for the new generation of 600-mm cooking appliances.

Gorenje is pleased with its appearance at the IFA fair in Berlin as well as with the response of business partners from various markets, who have placed a considerable amount of purchase orders for Gorenje's home appliances.

Yesterday, Gorenje exhibition area at the IFA fair hosted the German biathlon star Michael Greis, winner of the 2006 winter Olympics and a perennial winner of biathlon world championships. Gorenje has proudly sponsored this athlete since 2007.

The Old Timer fridge freezers from Gorenje, already popular for a decade, are now endowed with a revamped appearance and a new colour palette. And to fully fit into the most recent trends, they also have a new, stylish name: the Gorenje Retro Collection. The collection was premiered at the 2009 IFA Fair in Berlin.

Among Gorenje's numerous novelties and innovations exhibited at the IFA fair, the interactive Microsoft Surface application, developed for Gorenje by Slovenian Company Semantika, has been a true attention magnet, drawing interest from both visitors and competition representatives.

The IFA Fair, considered the business event No 1 for consumer electronics and home appliance industry, is under way. Gorenje is happily returning after last year's successful appearance, presenting a selection of novelties and innovative highlights including the brand new collection designed by Karim Rashid. Their exhibition area, measuring 500 square meters, is located in Hall 1.1.
