You may not have heard of Haier but I'm pretty sure you've heard of GE Appliance and Hoover.

>Haier is a multinational home appliances and consumer electronics corporation selling a wide range of products under the brands General Electric Appliances, Hotpoint, Hoover, Fisher & Paykel, and Candy.

>>Tomte+(OP)
One of the largest consumer appliance companies in the world... the own GE Appliances, for instance.

They do about $30 billion a year in revenue.

>>Tomte+(OP)
"According to data released by Euromonitor, Haier was the number one brand globally in major appliances for 10 consecutive years from 2009 to 2018."

(from their wikipedia article)

Yes, but I suppose the name is rather unknown in Germany. I only know some brands enumerated in other comments (Hoover etc.) from American TV series.
