Refrigerator Brands and Refrigerator Companies (All Fridge Brands)

Let’s be fair, almost all of us love globalization. We like the modern world, with its cheap Chinese trinkets and relatively low prices for devices and home appliances. But when it comes to what refrigerator (as well as any other home appliances) to buy, we usually want to get a thing from a well-reputable country. Sad but true, that’s a complicated challenge sometimes, as, in other areas of home appliances, the refrigerator market hasn’t escaped the mind-blowing changes over the past 10 years. That’s a common thing in almost any industry – more successful companies are acquiring others. The constant mergers and acquisitions swirl, so sometimes people simply have no clue what country is hidden behind the world-renowned brands’ veil. In general, there’s nothing bad in this, but only until people think “I wanna buy a fridge not made in China”. No disrespect, but a lot of people still thinks that Chinese stuff and home appliances are remaining to be a kind of bad quality products (and sometimes such opinion is even justified).

But the fact is, since 2000, Chinese companies have faced customer distrust of Chinese refrigerator brands. It’s always hard to enter new markets, especially if there’s a distrust aura upon your company’s country of origin. The solution was simple but ingenious to some extent – just acquire well-known European and American brands, that had a strong reputation, but was facing financial difficulties for that time.
Another dimension, which Chinese companies acted as refrigerators and other home appliances makers for European and US brands. According to the Chinese regulations, such companies were obliged to share part of their technologies with the Chinese companies, so Chinese companies got an opportunity to offer their own analogs under their own brands. Also, opening Chinese giant manufacturing plants that offered low-cost outsource services was an opportunity for stores and small companies to start their own brands and offer refrigerators under them. Also, don’t forget that post-purchase maintenance is also usually carried out through outsourcing. Such a scheme is widespread not only in China but also in Turkey, even taking into account incomparable manufacturing capabilities.

Rise of China manufacturing changed the market of the home appliances (and refrigerators in particular) to a great extend. If previously brands were investing in R&D, building manufacturing plants, marketing and promotion and post-purchase support, then now companies need to invest only in marketing, as there’s the Holy Grail of Chinese companies, that are ready to produce everything under other company’s brand.

But still people are seeking not only for the lowest price offered, but also for the quality. And a lot of people think that well-known refrigerator brand quarantees that the stuff is produced not in China. That’s not always so.

The thing is, that when you’re going to purchase a refrigerator of an old well-known brand, you may not even know that the company was acquired or merged with another company a long ago, so there’s nothing left from the great old refrigerator maker, only brand, that’s now used by another company.
Note, we don’t mean that some companies, countries, or brands are worse than others, we’re just providing facts as they’re of 2021.

Refrigerator brands by country

We conducted truly massive research, gathering information about all famous refrigerator brands to offer you the info about who owns them and where the parent companies are located. So, if you’re going to purchase a brand new refrigerator, you may be interested to know who owns the refrigerator brand you’re going to buy.

For example, we all know the US brand General Electric but only a few people have paid attention that GE has sold appliances business to Haier back in 2016 (for $5.4B). The refrigerators and other home appliances are still assembling in the US, but all the components for assembling refrigerators are coming from the Haier company. Haier is one of the largest home appliances companies in the world and it’s Chinese-headquartered. So, we can’t say that General Electric refrigerators are the US ones, they’re far more Chinese than American now.

We can provide tens of examples, but that would make article too long, so we divided all refrigerators brands according to the parent company location.
