This ownership is reported in official statements but has not yet been matched to a regulatory filing.
Hotpoint is a major British appliance brand that Whirlpool acquired in Europe with Indesit in 2014. The name is used by different companies in different regions, a legacy of the original business being split between British and American owners. In North America the Hotpoint name belongs to a separate business, so the two have no common ownership.
Whirlpool contributed its European major domestic appliance business into a new company with Arcelik called Beko Europe, keeping a 25 per cent interest in it, and separately sold its Middle East and North Africa business to the same buyer. The effect was to hand a Turkish manufacturer control of Indesit, Hotpoint in Europe and Bauknecht, and to move Whirlpool from owning a European business to licensing its own name back to the company that now runs one: it agreed a multi-year licence of the Whirlpool brand to Beko Europe for European sales.
Whirlpool acquired a controlling stake in Indesit, taking Hotpoint in Europe with it and becoming the largest appliance manufacturer on the continent. The Hotpoint name belongs to a different company in North America, a legacy of the original business being split between British and American owners.
