According to the privately-owned company, run by the Fumagalli family, the financial results are because of its technological capacity and focus on innovation.

This includes the sale of smart appliances, particular in washing machines, where Hoover Candy reports to hold 61% market share.

Candy Group has invested €15million in a factory in Turkey to manufacture intelligent dishwashers, with a production capacity of 80,000 units a year.
