KIC Laundry Appliances

KIC was sold to Picardi Liquors, who then sold off the various divisions. Fridges to Whirlpool, Hitachi, Indesit & Speed Queen to Lead Laundry Appliances. The KIC badged twin-tubs, Top & Front loaders were mainly rebadged Daewoo machines.

The KIC front loader in the 2nd post

Looks just like the Ignis machines sold here in the 90s.

Those were made by Philips-Whirlpool.

Used one on holiday in Italy in 2005, haven't seen one over here in years though.

The Ignis equivalent can be seen at various points throughout this episode of the 90s British sitcom 2point4 Children.
