Aga Rangemaster sold to U.S MIddleby Corporation
Despite a last-minute bid for Aga Rangemaster, Whirlpool is not buying the group as shareholders agreed a $201million takeover by Middleby Corporation, according to Reuters.
Whirlpool confirmed a non-binding bid for Aga Rangemaster last week, at the IFA exhibition which challenged the offer of the U.S cooking equipment manufacturer Middleby Corporation, agreed in principle in July.
The sale includes all Aga Group kitchen appliance brands of Aga Rangemaster, Mercury, Falcon, Marvel, Stanley and La Cornue.

Sintered stone manufacturer Neolith has launched Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset, inspired by nature and classical architecture, and for use in kitchens or bathrooms walls, floors, in gardens or facades.
They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).
Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
