ISTANBUL<\/span>, Feb. 14, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Beko (Ar\u00e7elik A.\u015e.) (Bloomberg: ARCLK TI) today announced that Hakan Bulgurlu will step down as Chief Executive Officer as of the company’s next General Assembly, concluding an 11-year tenure during which he led the company through a period of significant international expansion and sustainability transformation. He will be succeeded by Can Din\u00e7er, currently General Manager of Ar\u00e7elik T\u00fcrkiye and Chief Commercial Officer for South Asia and T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n

Bulgurlu, who has spent 32 years within the Ko\u00e7 Group, will remain on the Board of Beko B.V. through June 2026 to ensure a seamless transition. He will also complete his term as President of APPLiA, the European home appliance association.<\/p>\n

This leadership transition follows a structured succession plan designed to ensure strategic continuity and build on Beko’s position as a global appliance manufacturer.<\/p>\n

New Leadership with Deep Operational Experience<\/b><\/p>\n

Can Din\u00e7er has held multiple leadership roles across Beko’s international operations over a 33-year career spanning T\u00fcrkiye, Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific. Throughout his tenure, Din\u00e7er has played a pivotal role in strengthening the company’s market position in T\u00fcrkiye and delivering consistent commercial performance growth. He has also been instrumental in sustaining stable performance across the South Asia region, reinforcing execution discipline and customer-focused strategies in diverse and competitive markets.<\/p>\n

A Legacy of International Expansion and Sustainability Leadership<\/b><\/p>\n

During Bulgurlu’s tenure, Beko expanded its global footprint and strengthened its competitive position in Europe and beyond through acquisitions, strategic partnerships and integrations across multiple regions, including Singer in Bangladesh, Dawlance in Pakistan, Voltas Beko in India and Ar\u00e7elik-Hitachi in Asia-Pacific. The creation of Beko Europe and the integration of Whirlpool’s MENA operations further reinforced the company’s scale and market presence.<\/p>\n

During this period, sustainability also became more closely integrated into the company’s long-term strategy, with climate targets aligned to international standards and operational improvements across its manufacturing footprint. Bulgurlu championed the view that climate responsibility and commercial performance are mutually reinforcing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
