Allegedly...
Its only temporary workers taken on to boost dryer production etc- although more than in previous years- still a bad sign though

Basically- and no offence to yourself obviously! its an Ariston machine made in Italy with the Hotpoint name on it.
It dosent bode well for the future of British assembled models

Since Hotpoint became an Indesit brand and Hoover is Candy I believe that all the new machines will be produced here in Italy (or maybe they'll switch to China!!!). And sadly Hotpoint will be the new Ariston name here in Italy too :-(
Anyway a lay off 5 days before Christmas is quite sad... even it they were only temporary workers.

Made in Italy?
OMG! I've never been hearing of manufacturing somethin here since the BOOM of the Sixties!!
Many many and many again of the production "MADE IN ITALY" of course is note made here! Now I think only shoes are REALLY made in Italy...I don't know of any plants of appliances producing around here (maybe some components)... most are assembled in Poland and the China export have overflowed here!
Is like Gabriele said, they say made-in-Italy because of an IndesitCompany brand but honestly I don't believe at all they could have been assembled in any of the plants of our land!
There are many plants of the Indesit in Poland...

5 days before Christmas!
That just shows how evil the top dogs can be!!! No thought for the workforce who I am sure gave their all in the name of "Hoover"!!!!
I am sorry.... Business is business but without a loyal workforce a business is nothing!
How can they do this to people???? After all they are not paying robots, they are employing people with families.
I am so angry that these companies (who are making a huge profit anyway) employ people to make huge cut backs at their employees expense!!! They want to make good quality appliances as they have in the past... stop employing these streamliners who make shortcuts in the quality of their products to verify their salary and give the general public the quality they had years ago!!!! Hoover, Hotpoint, Indesit etc should be ashamed of themselves!!!
Peter (now off his soap box)

Well
This just goes to show what a crap company Indesit is. Candy took Hoover downhill first and now Indesit follow. All I can do is laugh at those here who blatantly support Indesit an buying and swearing their machines are brilliant. Very amusing that certain members here accept that their Hotpoints broke down within days and have been replaced or fixed yet still swear Indesit are so great. Lmao! I love it!

You are such an arrogant person, you know that??
What other people choose to believe in THEIR products and THEIR companies is THEIR choice!
You shouldnt put them down for their beliefs.
My Hotpoint when I got it on May 22nd, was DOA (Dead on arrival), but was dutifully replaced the next day. I am happy with the efficency of Hotpoint/Indesit Co for replacing it so quickly. My machine is brilliant now. Its doing anything upto 45 loads a week now and hasnt had a complaint yet!

Hi Seamus,
Darren posted some pictures a while back of these new Hotpoints, I noticed the Indesit Company drum and guessed that they would be produced in Italy. I sincerely hope that Indesit Company are not moving all production to Italy but I would not be at all surprised if they did.
Hi Neil
This is very sad news for Hoover workers and just before Christmas too. It never ceases to amaze me how Hoover went from one of the most successful Electrical appliance manufacturers in the World to its current state where the Hoover name is divided among companies and countries World wide.
washboy2005,
I totally agree with your comments regarding Aquarius1984, his arrogance knows no bounds and is becoming very old! It would appear that Aquarius1984 has nothing more constructive to do with his time than condemn highly successful companies and bash other peoples choices. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but its how that opinion is voiced that's important, especially in this public forum where we are guests of Robert Seger.
