“Being myself a Berliner, every year I am very excited to come to IFA and show the world the latest Midea products. This year again, we had to double our booth size to be able to show our full product portfolio.” said Brando Brandstaeter, Head of Global Brands & Communication at Midea “While every Chinese household is equipped with 4-5 Midea products, on a global level, our brand is still fairly young. However, we come equipped with globally 17 innovation centers and immense manufacturing capabilities.
