Frigidaire
First known as the Guardian Frigerator Company, Frigidaire has its beginnings in Indiana way back in 1918. Though the idea came from Alfred Mellowes and Nathaniel B. Wales, they did not have the funds to start up the company, which is why through the help of William C. Durant of General Motors, the duo made it possible to reach where it is now thanks to Durant’s investment. The company was under the White Sewing Machine Company during 1979 but was later bought by Electrolux in 1986.
