I feel a lot of appliance brands are missing but for some reason I can't think of any.

Also, many chocolate brands including Lindt, Tony's Chocolonely and Ritter Sport (didn't forget this time!)

Looking up, there are so many traditional appliance producers that were sold to US companies. Why is that? People still buy because of the trust in the old name (Braun, Bauknecht) but the profits go overseas.

But I found Siemens.

And some holding companies that hold a lot of brands. Most of them, I don't know, but some might.

  • Arçelik: Beko, Grundig, Altus, Blomberg, Leisure, Elektra Bregenz, Arctic, Flavel, Defy, Dawlance und Voltbek.
  • Gorenje
  • B/S/H: Bosch and Siemens
  • Electrolux: AEG, Zanussi
