About Grundig
Grundig was founded in Nuremberg in 1945 and was one of the defining names of German consumer electronics, making radios and televisions for postwar Europe. It has since been remade as a household appliance brand covering every room rather than the living room, and it is now owned by the Turkish group Arçelik — a German icon with a Turkish parent, and one of three German appliance names in the same foreign portfolio.
