Hotpoint

The Hotpoint Company was formed in 1911 and Hotpoint has become a well known name in electric appliances (more commonly know as "white goods").

In 1998 Hotpoint, Cannon and Creda joined forces to become General Domestic Appliances Ltd, an official joint venture between GE and the GEC Group.

In late December 2001, Merloni Elettrodomestici purchased a 50% share in General Domestic Appliances Ltd from Marconi for £120,000,000. On the January 1st 2005 Merloni Elettrodomestici changed its name to Indesit Company.

This was the latest development in the group which remains the largest and most successful company in the UK domestic appliance market and the third largest company in the European domestic goods industry.

Indesit Company owns four manufacturing plants in Peterborough, North Wales, Blythe Bridge and Yate. To view more information about Indesit Company, visit the Indesit website. More Hotpoint Info
