For many Americans, the word “Hoover” is synonymous with vacuum cleaning. Founded in Ohio in 1908 by W.H. “Boss” Hoover, the brand quickly became a staple in U.S. households thanks to its innovative designs and relentless marketing. “Hoovering” even became a colloquial term for vacuuming in various parts of the world.
However, in a twist of global commerce, the brand was acquired by the Italian company, Candy, in 2006. This means that while the Hoover legacy was born in the heart of America, its corporate ties now extend to the picturesque landscapes of Italy. Today, under its European guidance, Hoover continues to redefine cleanliness for homes across the globe.
