Candy is a storied European brand with deep roots in post-war Italy. Founded in 1945 by the Fumagalli family in Brugherio, the brand became famous for launching the first Italian all-automatic washing machine. Over the decades, Candy expanded significantly through the acquisition of other famous brands like Hoover (European division) and Zerowatt, establishing itself as a major player in the white goods market.

In 2019, the brand entered a new era when it was acquired by Haier Europe, a subsidiary of the Chinese multinational Haier Smart Home. Today, while the brand's design and heritage remain linked to its Italian headquarters, manufacturing is distributed globally. Most tumble dryers under the Candy brand are produced in specialized Haier-owned facilities in Turkey and China to ensure logistical efficiency for the European market.
