History of Brandt

Brandt was established in 1924. In 1956, Brandt expanded its operations by acquiring the vehicle and arms manufacturer Hotchkiss et Cie, leading to the creation of Hotchkiss-Brandt.[1] A decade later, in 1966, Hotchkiss-Brandt merged with Thomson, now known as Thomson SA.
In 2000, Brandt merged with the French appliance company Moulinex. However, following Moulinex’s bankruptcy in September 2001, Groupe SEB took over its activities. In 2002, Brandt itself was acquired by Elco Holdings, an Israeli holding and appliance company.[2] In 2005, Elco-Brandt was bought by the Spanish appliance manufacturer Fagor, and the brand became known as FagorBrandt.
In 2014, Brandt underwent another ownership change when it was acquired by the Algerian conglomerate Cevital.
