Candy is a historic Italian brand founded in 1945 by the Fumagalli family. It gained fame for producing the first Italian all-washing machine and became a staple in European households for kitchen and laundry appliances.

In 2019, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by the Chinese multinational Haier Group. Following this acquisition, while the brand's design roots remain in Italy, a large portion of the manufacturing for mass-market appliances like microwaves has been shifted to Haier's global production hubs, primarily in China, to leverage manufacturing scale. Today, Candy operates as a key European brand within the Haier Europe portfolio, focusing on smart and accessible home technology.
