Product Description
-------------------
THE CANDY COMPANY The world was changing, Italy was getting
ready for rebuilding, for growing... It was in 1945 that the
Model 50 first saw the light of day in the workshops of Eden
Fumagalli at Monza, famous for the manufacture of precision
instruments. It was one of the earliest miracles of domestic
well-being: the first all-Italian washing machine. A product of
Eden Fumagalli's extraordinary talent, the new machine officially
launched at the Milan Fair of 1946. The Candy brand name came
into being. Since then its progress has been marked by
extraordinary success. The founder's sons, Enzo, Niso and Peppino
Fumagalli started washing machine production, making them the
centre and the strength of their manufacturing activity.
Unstoppable, in 1954 Candy made a decisive move in washing
traditions: the birth of the Bi-Matic, the first semi-automatic
washing machine with a spinner. Candy opened its first production
abroad, in France. Just six years later, the washing
machine became completely automatic: Candy raced ahead on the
road of innovation. While the washing machine was being refined,
enriched and “learning” to save water and energy, the Stipomatic,
the first Candy dishwasher, was launched. Candy had already
progressed beyond washing machines... Niso Fumagalli, the
originator of most of the patents, was awarded an honorary degree
in engineering by the University of Genoa. In the 70s an
important new phase started for Candy: that of acquiring other
Italian companies, starting with La Sovrana of Parma, a historic
brand name in the cooking sector and Kelvinator Italia,
internationally famous for its refrigerators and freezers. Candy
also drew up an agreement with Kelvinator America to produce and
market domestic products with the American name all over the
world. There was another important advance in the 80s: the
international expansion of Candy and the further acquisition of
prestigious European companies. A brief rundown: 1980 - Candy
acquires Kelvinator UK and its factory at Bromborough, Wirral,
England. 1985 - Two successful Italian brand names join the Candy
Group: Zerowatt, manufacturers of washing machines and tumble
dryers, and fire, spets in built-in cookers. 1987 -

companies in the manufacture of built-in cookers. 1992 - Candy
acquires Mayc, an important Spanish company producing top loading
washing machines under the Otsein brand name. 1995 - Candy
acquires Iberna, refrigeration spets. 2004 - Production
innovation never stops: launch of the new Aquamatic washing
machine range and the highly innovative Biocold Futura
refrigerators by Candy. 2004 - Hoover unveils the Top Vision and
7.5 kg Nextra washing machines. The leading new product in the

Overall production as to 5.6 million units. 2005 - Sixtieth
anniversary of the presentation of the first Candy washing
machine, the Model 50. New milestones in product innovation: the

60-year experience, delivering advanced performances and paying
attention to the highest energy efficiency. The new wash-dryer
models handle 5+5 kg of laundry. Hoover enters the built-in
market: three new collections are distributed through the retail
and kitchen studio channels only. The Vapormate steam cleaners
expand the range of floorcare products. Acquisition of the Vesta
company, based in Kirov, Russia, manufacturer of the Vyatka
washing machines. Through the updating of production processes
and product range, the Group offers its three brands to Russian
users: Vyatka, Candy, Hoover, with complementary and
differentiated market positioning. The Podborany (Czech Republic)
doubles the size and becomes the Group's only manufacturing
facility of refrigerators and freezers. Despite the challenging
market and economic scenario, the Group records further growth:
total sales are up to € 1 billion and production volumes top 6
million units. Candy now has plans all over the world: China,
Turkey, Ivory Coast, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt, Russia... Today,
Candy, strengthened by its long and comprehensive experience in
the domestic appliance sector, plays a leading role in the
international field. It is in the forefront of new technological
developments, always attentive to the needs of the modern
consumer and sensitive to the needs of a new family lifestyle
