Hotpoint MWHA 101 W microwave

Hotpoint is a historic home appliance brand with a complex heritage. Originally founded in the United States and the United Kingdom, the brand in Europe became closely associated with the Italian Indesit Company. In 2014, the American conglomerate Whirlpool Corporation acquired Indesit and the rights to the Hotpoint brand in the EMEA region.

Today, the manufacturing of Hotpoint microwaves like the MWHA 101 W model is primarily outsourced to major production hubs in China, which specialize in high-efficiency consumer electronics. While the brand is managed from Whirlpool's European headquarters in Italy, its global ownership remains under the Michigan-based Whirlpool Corporation.
