white-westinghouse

White-Westinghouse is an appliance company formed by the acquisition of the Westinghouse Electric Company's appliance unit by White Consolidated Industries in 1975. White Consolidated Industries was subsequently acquired by Electrolux in 1986. Westinghouse Electric entered the appliance industry by acquiring Copeman Electric Stove Company in 1917. It moved production to Mansfield, Ohio. Copeman had begun manufacturing the first electric ranges in 1914. Electric ranges gained in popularity as electrification became widespread throughout the United States. The company claims to have made several important innovations:

1930s refrigerators with sealed refrigeration units
1930s room air conditioners
1930s portable dishwashers
1939 automatic washing machine that was not bolted to the floor.
1950s frost-free refrigerators.

The company manufactured both large and small appliances for many years. Currently small appliances bearing the Westinghouse or White-Westinghouse name are made under license.
