The Candy brand name came into being in 1945. Since then its progress has been marked by extraordinary success. The founder's sons, Enzo, Niso and Peppino Fumagalli started washing machine production, making them the centre and the strength of their manufacturing activity. Unstoppable, in 1954 Candy made a decisive move in washing traditions: the birth of the Bi-Matic, the first semi-automatic washing machine with a spinner. Candy opened its first production plant abroad, in France. Just six years later, the washing machine became completely automatic: Candy raced ahead on the road of innovation.

Today, Candy, strengthened by its long and comprehensive experience in the domestic appliance sector, plays a leading role in the international field. It is in the forefront of new technological developments, always attentive to the needs of the modern consumer and sensitive to the needs of a new family lifestyle whose priorities are relationships, the freedom to develop them and the time to nurture them.
