Frigidaire
Initially named the Guardian Frigerator Company, it was in 1918 within Indiana that Frigidaire came to be. Although the concept for the whole business was supplied by Nathaniel B. Wales and Alfred Mellowes, the two suffered a capital deficit needed to get the business off the ground. William C. Durant of General Motors fame then swept in to the rescue! The economic legend backed their business, allowing the pair to elevate it to its current reputation. The White Sewing Machine Company took control in 1979, but then in 1986, Electrolux from Sweden’s world of the business purchased it. Frigidaire still maintains its place as a subsidiary of this business, an incredible position for everyone involved.
