Founded in 1975, Indesit is today a leading maker of domestic appliances that include kitchen and laundry equipment. Based in Italy, it employs more than 16,000 and has production sites in Italy, Poland, Turkey, Russia and the UK.
Initially founded as a breakaway from Industrie Merloni in 1975, Indesit was originally called Merloni Elettrodomestici S.p.A. It changed its name officially to Indesit in 2005 after years of dominating the market. Unlike many other producers of domestic appliances in Italy during the 1980s, Indesit did not succumb to foreign pressures and instead emerged as the leading manufacturer in Italy, Russia, and the UK (a place it remains today).
The company went public in the later 1980s and was soon one of the largest of its kind in the industry. Since then it has consistently grown and taken over or merged with firms in the appliance world, but always with the emphasis on consumer electronics. As recently as 2012 the firm had remained as a larger appliance maker, but recently announced intentions to enter the small domestic appliance market too. It then went on to form agreements with Waterlogic for water purification gear and Whirlpool Corp. which invested heavily in the company in 2014.
Today, the company produces appliances with the brand names Indesit, Elco, Hotpoint- Ariston, Scholtes, Stinol, and Termogamma. Their complete list of offerings includes:
With their motto, “We work, you play," their appliances are feature heavy and come with a wide array of choices. They currently market:
In addition to the features already mentioned, most of the Indesit appliances have been designed with efficiency in mind. Buyers have the option of A through A+++ on some appliances, and almost all come in a variety of colours or aesthetic choices, too.
Indesit has survived and taken such a strong place in the industry simply because it has always viewed innovation as a priority. Noted for "avant garde" solutions aimed at providing consumers with value while also ensuring sustainable growth in the firm, they state that they want to guarantee buyers "more and better time for themselves.” The company is also persistent in emphasizing ergonomic design and efficiency.
Purchasing a domestic appliance from Indesit is an investment in quality and in-depth design and analysis on the part of the manufacturer. Not only will you get an attractive unit with the features you desire, but one that is good for the environment, and built to last.
