Where Are Electrolux Vacuums Made?

Electrolux Vacuums are made all over the world, with the highest concentrations of factories in Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand. The company continues to grow and develop new factories, mainly through acquisitions of smaller companies. Since the founding of the company in 1897, the company has been synonymous with cutting edge design and technology for household appliances. Its very first product was a vacuum cleaner, and it is still an emblematic product for the Electrolux Company.

The first factory opened in Sweden in the late 1890s. Until then, industrial vacuum cleaners were available, but no one thought of making the machines available to housewives. Electrolux was the first company in Europe to develop machines light and inexpensive enough to be purchased by private individuals, although they did involve a significant investment of money and storage space. Salesmen would not make appointments to sell the vacuum cleaners unless they were sure the husband/breadwinner was home to approve the purchase. Vacuum cleaners were transported from the plant in Sweden to Germany, where they sold rapidly.

In the decades before World War II, Electrolux plants were built in Australia, Germany, England, France and Spain. Some of these factories were built by Electrolux, and others were acquisitions of smaller vacuum cleaner companies. The American market was still missing from the equation until the 1930s, when a new plant was built in Old Greenwich, Connecticut. Vacuum production in the United States, at least of Electrolux vacuums, didn't advance much until decades later, especially in the 1980s, when the company made aggressive expansions into the American market by buying up smaller companies and building Electrolux plants in there place.

Through the years, the Electrolux vacuum has become more streamlined and easier to use. From the clunky original models "the loaf" was developed in the 1930s. As the name suggests, this small machine was the size of a bread loaf, although this entailed the frequent changing of vacuum bags. In the 1960s, other features were added, such as dials that signified when the vacuum bag was full. A longer cord meant not having to wheel the device around everywhere. Since then, the Electrolux vacuum has been fitted with cutting edge technology designed to make the business of cleaning easier. Not only are the machines effective, but stylish with a signature European design. The vacuum cleaners have won design awards, and many choose the Electrolux name not only for the technological sophistication, but for their beauty.

The 1980s and 90s saw streamlining of the company, such as cutbacks in staff, however, Electrolux plants continued to open around the world and operate at full capacity. Mergers have continued to enable the company to grow without the necessity of building new factories. The company continues to find more efficient ways of producing high quality vacuums at a low cost. Electrolux is still a major brand name in vacuum cleaners.
