Hoover US
Hoover has built a reputation as a reliable American appliance brand when it first opened its doors in 1908. The firm, which bears the name of its founder, William Henry Hoover, has become a household name. Even while things stayed local for a long time, once Techtronic Industries purchased it for $107 million in 2006, things changed. The headquarters are still in North Carolina, but the central office has moved to Hong Kong. With over 30,000 employees and annual revenues of more than $7.7 billion, the Chinese firm is massive. It is in good hands, despite the fact that it is no longer an American corporation.

Frigidaire
Frigidaire, formerly known as the Guardian Frigerator Company, was founded in Indiana in 1918. While Alfred Mellowes and Nathaniel B. Wales came up with the concept, they lacked the funds to make it a reality. This is where General Motors’ William C. Durant came in! He put money into the firm, allowing the two of them to get it to where it is now. It was owned by the White Sewing Machine Company from 1979 to 1979. In 1986, however, it was purchased by Electrolux, a Swedish business. Even though Frigidaire is still a part of this corporation, it appears to be doing well.
