Electrolux Enters Single-Serve Coffee Market With Lavazza in Sweden and Finland

Swedish Electrolux AB (ELUX-B.SK) is to enter the lucrative single-serve coffee industry with Luigi Lavazza SpA by launching a new line of single-serve coffee makers for the domestic market. The household appliance maker's coffee machines will be launched as part of a joint venture with the privately-owned Italian coffee company. Lavazza already sells single serve coffee products under the A Modo Mio brand and the partnership will face tough competition from European beverage giant Nestle SA (NSRGY) and its market-leading Nespresso brand.
The coffee machines will be launched this summer in Sweden and Finland, and will then be released in several other European countries
