Dirt Devil

Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners have been keeping American homes clean for almost a century. Philip Geier of Cleveland, Ohio created the sculpture in 1905. Since then, the product line has grown significantly, with over 25 million units sold globally. This is largely due to the Cyclone system’s singularity. Despite the fact that the corporation’s headquarters are still in North Carolina, Techtronic Industries, a Chinese multinational, entirely owns the company. Dirt Devil just acquired Hoover, and the firm now owns both of these household appliance brands. It is clear that the Hong Kong-based company has increased its appliance investment portfolio!

Good Humor

It’s no secret that Good Humor ice cream is popular among baby boomers. For almost a century, this company has operated ice cream trucks. It was an instant hit when it was introduced to Ohio in the 1920s. Unilever’s Thomas J. Lipton purchased the company in 1961. It’s impossible to argue that Good Humor’s fortunes have improved since Lipton purchased the British-Dutch company’s US operations. Since then, the company’s product line has grown to include an increasing number of items, and it has retained a loyal following among consumers across the country.
