This year marked a historic moment as IFA Berlin celebrated its 100th anniversary. Since its inception in 1924, IFA has been a cornerstone in the world of consumer electronics and home appliances, bringing together industry pioneers and groundbreaking products under one roof. Meaco was proud to be part of this legacy, sharing the stage with industry giants – the likes of Samsung, HiSense, and LG.

 

A Triumphant Year for Meaco

Our team was thrilled by the reception of our newest products, particularly the MeacoDry Arete® Two Dehumidifier and Air Purifiers and the MeacoFan Sefte® Air Circulators.

“This year, Arete® became Europe’s most popular dehumidifier family and our time at IFA was an equal success.” said Chris Michael, Managing Director at Meaco. “We had interest from both our loyal distributors, the Press and new faces too. We’re already looking forward to returning in 2025.”

 

Engineering Excellence: The Heart of Our Showcase

Engineering took centre stage for us this year as we introduced products designed to push the boundaries of air treatment technology. 

Our booth featured the MeacoFan Sefte® and MeacoDry Arete® Two Dehumidifier and Air Purifier (and some we can’t mention..!)., both of which embody our commitment to innovative engineering and user-friendly design.

Connecting with the Industry

IFA isn’t just about products; it’s about people. We had the pleasure of engaging with distributors, journalists, and visitors from across 28 countries, including Poland, Norway, and South Africa. These conversations provided invaluable insights, helping us tailor our solutions to meet the diverse needs of homeowners and renters alike, from managing humidity and condensation, to staying cool during the summer.

We also caught up with writers and reviewers, including the team from T3 and FAZ Kaufkompass, to discuss our advancements in air treatment technology and the enhanced features of our new products.

 

Connecting with customers

Congratulations to all our lucky winners! Customers were invited to fill in a survey, letting us know more about their air treatment needs and preferences. If you came to our stand this year, you may have shared your thoughts on it too! We asked opinions on home humidity, how you use your air circulator, where you may use your dehumidifier and more.

Following the survey, 6 lucky winners walked away with a MeacoFan 260c, our cordless air circulator perfect for keeping cool on the go around the IFA venue and when you get home too!

We are looking forward to sharing these thoughts and customer feedback with you shortly here on the Meaco Blog.
