With a combined 197 years of service, several former Electrolux cooking plant managers recently gathered in Adelaide to re-connect with one another and take a tour of the Dudley Park factory.

With careers encompassing areas including purchasing, operations and quality, the tour provided an opportunity to gather again at a place that played such a significant role in their lives.

Electrolux general manager of manufacturing in Adelaide, Phil Saloniklis welcomed the team and guided them through the factory.

“It was a great opportunity for them to share stories and see how their dedication in building their teams over the years has contributed to the success of the plant today. They loved their visit as did we. We’re looking forward to more similar opportunities with our former employees,” he said.
