In 2000, WP acquired Brazilian appliance maker Multibrás, owner of the brands Brastemp and Consul, including its stake in Embraco.

Staring about 1980's and well into 2000's WP went on a buying and expansion binge.

Inglis (Canada)

Philips N.V.

Bauknecht (Germany)

Kelvinator (India)

Having previously purchased majority stake in Embraco WP followed up by getting their their greedy mitts on number one appliance maker in Brazil, Multibrás.

As for differences in WP/Brastemp washer models compared to USA it comes down to local consumer preferences and so forth.

Brazilians seem to still overwhelmingly favor top loading washing machines. Thus WP must find ways to keep that format but also deliver on energy savings, innovation and performance.







Can't tell you about their appliances, but love old Brastemp adverts.
