BSH Hausgerate GmbH, a home appliances manufacturer based in Munich, Germany, will unveil its eco-friendly, smart products at the fourth China International Import Expo in Shanghai this November.

According to Jia Bin, vice-president of business unit consumer products at BSH China, one of the highlights will be a soft-brush vacuum cleaner which can capture 99.9 percent of pet fur and perform basic household cleaning chores.

The company, which participated in the previous three editions of the CIIE, was elected as the first chairman of the green smart home appliances committee of the exhibitors alliance of the CIIE on April 8.

According to Jia, the company has a keen focus on sustainability, and this is exemplified by the fact that all its factories, offices, warehouses and R&D centers achieved carbon neutrality in 2020.

In September last year, the world's largest R&D center for BSH Home Appliances opened in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. The 47,000-square-meter center represents an investment of about 400 million yuan ($61.88 million).

In May, the company's new China headquarters opened in Nanjing as well. According to Jia, a dryer factory is set to be launched this year to improve product localization.
