Event Summary

Haier launched its premium Horizon Collection refrigerator series in Vietnam on May 29, 2026, marking its first entry into the Southeast Asian market. This launch is a strategic move for Haier to expand its global footprint and establish itself as a premium brand in the high-end refrigerator segment. The Horizon series features innovative technologies like HCS humidity control and magnetic-controlled freshness, which won a Gold Medal at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions and is Vanguard Energy ETF-certified. Vietnam is considered a strategic springboard due to its position as Southeast Asia's largest high-end refrigerator market, where Haier has already seen significant sales growth. Haier Smart Home also launched the Haier brand in Vietnam in 2025 and partnered with DMX. Following Vietnam, the Horizon series will roll out in Indonesia and Thailand, aiming to drive Haier's high-end leadership across Southeast Asia.
