In the modern home appliance market, the international Candy Group is well known. Its main brand is Kandy. For many years this company has been manufacturing and successfully selling high-quality household appliances.
History of creation
Candy began work back in 1945. This was the period of the revival of Italy after the Second World War that thundered in Europe. The return of people to a peaceful life was impossible without the development of the production of a variety of household appliances. Then the Fumagalli brothers - Peppino, Nizo and Enzo - presented to the consumers' court the first washing machine developed in Italy. This model was even exhibited at the home appliance fair in Milan, where it made a good impression. Thus, a great start was made to the history of the company.
The Fumagalli brothers did not accidentally create the electromechanical unit. Their father at one time was the owner of mechanical workshops that were engaged in the production of various kinds of machine tools and devices. However, in the postwar years, it was necessary to change the main direction of activity. And here a new development of the brothers came to the rescue. Its implementation not only saved the father’s company, but also radically changed the direction of activity. Thus, the Candy brand was born, on the basis of which the Candy Group was subsequently created.
Each of the Fumagalli brothers was engaged in the company in their own field. So, the merit of Nizo was all the technical innovations included in the idea of creating the first household appliances. Subsequently, for this work he was awarded the prize of the University of Geneva. As for organizational activities, it was completely and completely entrusted to Peppito. Thanks to the fruitful work of the company, already in 1954 the first semi-automatic washing machine with an extraction was put on the consumer market. Six years later, a new development appeared - an automatic model of such units.
History of development
Throughout the years of its existence, the Kandy company has been moving towards success at a rapid pace. She opened factories abroad, began production of such types of household appliances as refrigerators and dishwashers, electric and gas stoves.
In the seventies of the last century, the Candy brand promotion policy became even more aggressive. The takeover of competitors has begun. And the first on this list were Italian companies such as Kelvinator Italia and La Sovrana. In the 80s, a merger with foreign companies began. As a result, the formation of the modern international group of companies Candy Group took place, whose head office is located in the Italian city of Brugherio. But the company has its own factories for the production of household appliances, which employ thousands of employees, around the world.
Modern stage
To date, the total annual amount of household appliances manufactured by Candy is 5 million. This is an extensive assortment of washing machines and dishwashers, first-class stoves and ovens and, of course, refrigerators. Among the devices of the company there are universal combines. They combine the functions of an oven, stove and dishwasher.
The household appliances of the company are sold in 16,000 outlets located in more than a hundred countries of the world. These are more than 12 500 models of devices characterized by reliability and constant quality. 2/3 of the products of all fourteen Candy factories operating in many countries of Europe are exported.

This allows you to quickly restore the temperature regime after opening the door and increase the effect of low temperatures on the products.
