washing machines AristonToday, the worldwide fame of Ariston washing machines is undeniable. These are high-quality, high-tech products with an elegant design. Some modifications to this company are called Hotpoints. The reasons for this name are set forth below.

Historical excursion

In 1930, in Italy, Aristide Merloni founded the company, which then began to successfully produce scales "Industry Merlion." After 15 years, she is already mastering the manufacture and production of electric water heaters. Their release was already under the brand name "Ariston".

In 1970, the founder of the company divides it into three parts and appoints his sons as managers.

Antonil became the head of SpA, a manufacturer of scales and gas cylinders.

Vitorio led the company Merloni Elettrodomestitsi. Her profile is the release of home appliances. And 1975 was the beginning of the independent life of the Ariston brand.

Francesco became the head of the company Merloni Thermosanitary, producing water heaters and bathtubs.

By 1987, the Merloni Eletrodomestitsi firm was pursuing a successful policy, and the demand for its products was developing rapidly.

By 1989, Indesit was gaining great fame in Italy and Europe. And this year, Vitorio acquires this brand. In 1990, his purchases became the French factory "Sholtez" and the English company "Hotpoint". And in 2000, the Russian concern Stinol also. The production of Indesit products is being established there. In 2004, these Italians also got a second factory in Russia, and the domestic consumer receives home-assembled equipment from Italy.

After joining Hotpoint, the Ariston brand might lose its name. And this only happened in some countries. And in Russia and the CIS since 2007 release washing machines happening with the name "Hotpoint Ariston"
