Kandy washing machineChoosing home appliances, most of us try to give preference to brands that are on hearing. Kandy washing machines began to be actively advertised more than 10 years ago. Since then, the manufacturer has "grown" recognition and a very positive reputation. Candy has become increasingly trusted by consumers. Thanks to high quality products and reasonable prices, the brand confidently took its deserved place among the world leaders in the production of household appliances.

Brand origin

The history of the creation of the Candy brand began in 1945, in Italy. After the Second World War, life in many cities and countries began to gradually improve, and the population began to actively equip their lives.

It was in this "wave" of demand for various kinds of household appliances that the entrepreneurial Fumagalli brothers Nizo, Enzo, and Peppino (Niso, Enso, Peppino Fumagalli), who live in a small suburb of Milan, opened a small workshop.

However, the idea of ​​creating an automatic washing machine, which could wash and squeeze the laundry itself, was born even earlier, in the head of the brothers' father - Eden Fumagalli (Eden Fumagalli). Before the war, Eden owned a whole network of OMEF mechanical workshops, developing and repairing mainly production and agricultural machines. But years of devastation bankrupted Eden Fumagalli's company.

Sons decided to realize their father’s dream: they created their own workshop and within a year developed the first model of a washing machine, calling it very simply - “Model-50” (Model 50). Of course, she was far from the automation that we have now, but at that time the device was a real breakthrough.

In 1946, the family dynasty decided to present its development at the Milan Fair of household appliances. The machine was a huge success, and Eden Fumagalli created a new company, Candy Elettrodomestici s.r.l., which later grew into a Candy Group holding.

In 1954, Kandy launched the first semi-automatic washing machine, which can independently spin laundry. In the same year, the owner of the company opens its first overseas production in France. By the 80th year, Kandy conquers the world market and begins to produce not only washing machinesbut also dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators and more. Large Candy home appliance factories are appearing in many countries. The development of the holding continues to this day.
