To find out, we suggest you study the history of the brand a little, consider all the advantages of cars of this brand, find out what their weaknesses are.

A bit of history

Back in 1930, in Italy, Aristide Merloni created a company that successfully began manufacturing scales for Industrie Merlon. Since 1945, it has been developing a new manufacturing niche for the manufacture of electric heaters under the Ariston brand (this Greek word in Russian means “successful”).

In 1970, Aristide divides his company into 3 parts and transfers their management to his sons:

• Antonio led the Antonio Merloni SpA factory for the manufacture of scales and gas cylinders;
• Vitorio got the company Merloni Elettrodomestici, engaged in the manufacture of home appliances, whose president he became president in 1975, from that time on the independent existence of the Ariston brand began;
• Francesco became president of the company Merloni Termosanitari for the production of water heaters and bathtubs.

By 1987, with the help of competent policy and marketing research, Merloni Elettrodomestici is developing successfully, and the demand for products is growing. In parallel with the growth of this company in 1975, a factory appears in Italy. Indesit, also engaged in the production of household appliances. However, her successes were more rapid, the equipment from Indesit was known throughout Europe, and in the 80s the turnover of goods became 1.5 times more than the turnover of Elettrodomestici. This impressed Vitorio Merloni, and in 1989 he bought the Europe-famous brand Indesit.

The decision was strategically reasonable, production immediately went up. Representations began to appear in other countries: in Poland, Portugal, Turkey, France. In 1990, Merloni bought the French concern Scholtes, and then the English Hotpoint, thereby conquering a large market in France, Great Britain and Ireland. In 2005, the fame of Indesit forced the renaming of the Elettrodomestici concern to the Indesit Company concern.

In Russia, the representative office of Elettrodomestici appears in 1995. Consumers appreciated the products of the Indesit and Ariston brands.

In 2000, Merloni bought the Russian Stinol plant in Lipetsk, where it began production of Indesit equipment. And in 2004, the company is building a second plant. After the merger with Hotpoint, they wanted to rename the Ariston brand to Hotpoint. This has happened in some countries, but since 2007, washing machines have been produced under the double name Hotpoint Ariston in Russia and the CIS countries.

Thus, the world's largest machinery manufacturing concern Indesit Company owns well-known brands such as Hotpoint Stinol, Indesit Ariston In our country, it is a leader offering equipment in different price segments.
