ELECTROLUX (ELUXb.ST: Quote, Profile, Research)

The world's second biggest home appliance firm will continue to invest in the launch of high-end products in the United States despite the weakening economy there, its chief executive said in an interview in business daily Dagens Industri.

"Going into the premium segment is certainly a way for Electrolux to improve its operating margin," the paper quoted CEO Hans Straberg saying.

Margins are under pressure mainly from rising raw material costs -- up 8 billion crowns since 2004, according to Straberg.

The paper added that Electrolux had completed a round of plant closures in high production cost countries which were part of its restructuring plans.
