Candy Hoover Group

It was in 1945 that the Model 50 first saw the light of day in the workshops of Eden Fumagalli at Monza, famous for the manufacture of precision instruments. It was one of the earliest miracles of domestic well-being: the first all-Italian washing machine. A product of Eden Fumagalli’s extraordinary talent, the new machine officially launched at the Milan Fair of 1946.

The Candy brand name came into being. 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.
