Blue Star was founded in 1943, by Mohan T Advani, an entrepreneur of exemplary vision and drive. The Company began as a modest 3-member team engaged in reconditioning of air-conditioners and refrigerators. Within three years, the Company secured the agency for US-based Melchoir Armstrong Dessau’s air-conditioning equipment. Shortly after, the Company was selected by Worthington, the US leader in air-conditioning, as its India based partner – these were the first of numerous foreign associations to follow.

An expanding Blue Star then ventured into the manufacture of ice candy machines and bottle coolers and also began the design and execution of central airconditioning projects. Then came the manufacture of water coolers. In 1949, the proprietorship company set its sights on bigger expansion, took on shareholders and became Blue Star Engineering Company Private Limited.
Ever since, there has been a constant and profitable growth. Blue Star diversified and took up agencies for Material Testing Machines and Business Machines. The export arena beckoned and the Company began exporting water coolers to Dubai, where in fact, ‘Blue Star’ soon became the generic name for water coolers.

The sixties and the early seventies witnessed Blue Star continuing to expand and thrive. Employee strength crossed the 1000 mark and the company went public in 1969 to become Blue Star Limited, as it continues to be called today.

In 1970, the Company took up the all-India distributorship of Hewlett-Packard products. As the Company’s reputation for delivering the goods in the most challenging of air-conditioning projects grew steadily, the early seventies saw a series of prestigious projects being entrusted to Blue Star – skyscrapers such as Air India Building, Express Towers, the Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai, apart from several others. Revenues touched the Rs. 10-crore mark and staff strength doubled to exceed 2000.
The Company began building determinedly upon its existing overseas presence, Blue Star set up a joint venture with Al Shirawi in Dubai and went on to execute some outstanding projects in Syria, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. To complement its air-conditioning projects and undertake turnkey industrial projects, an Industrial Division was set up in 1978.

In 1983 Blue Star set up a software export unit at Seepz, Mumbai. Then came associations with more global leaders – a collaboration with York International of USA for central air-conditioning equipment and joint ventures with Motorola and Yokogawa.
An advanced manufacturing facility was set up at Dadra in 1997, in technical collaboration with Rheem, USA, to enhance manufacturing competency. Today it bears the distinction of being regarded as the best such plant India-wide. The dealer network was strengthened and expanded to bring products within easy reach of every customer.

In the year 2000 the software unit was spun off into a separate company, Blue Star Infotech Ltd., while the export of air-conditioning products from the Dadra factory began and contract manufacturing for local and foreign brands commenced. Blue Star crossed the Rs.500 crore milestone in 2000 and the Rs.600 crore milestone in 2002-03. With the boom in construction activity and increased infrastructure investments, the Company leveraged its leadership position to grow aggressively. In the following three years, the Company nearly doubled its turnover, clocking Rs 1178 crores in 2005-06.

The Company has manufacturing facilities at Thane, Dadra, Bharuch, Himachal and Wada which use state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment to ensure that the products have consistent quality and reliability.

Whirlpool initiated its international expansion in 1958 by entering Brazil. However, it emerged as truly global leader in the 1980’s. This encouraging trend brought the company to India in the late 1980s. It forayed into the market under a joint venture with TVS group and established the first Whirlpool manufacturing facility in Pondicherry.

Soon Whirlpool acquired Kelvinator India Limited in 1995 and marked an entry into Indian refrigerator market as well. The same year also saw acquisition of major share in TVS joint venture and later in 1996, Kelvinator and TVS acquisitions were merged to create Indian home appliance leader of the future, Whirlpool India. This expanded the company’s portfolio in the Indian subcontinent to washing machines, refrigerator, microwave ovens and air conditioners.

Today, Whirlpool is the most recognized brand in home appliances in India and holds a market share of over 25%. The company owns three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities at Faridabad, Pondicherry and Pune. Each of these manufacturing set-ups features an infrastructure that is witness of Whirlpool’s commitment to consumer interests and advanced technology.

In the year ending in March ‘06, the annual turnover of the company for its Indian enterprise was Rs.1,375 Crores. According to IMRB surveys Whirlpool enjoys the status of the single largest refrigerator and second largest washing machine brand in India.

The company’s brand and image speaks of its commitment to the homemaker from every aspect of its functioning. It has derived its functioning principles out of an undaunted partnership with the homemakers and thus a slogan of “You and whirlpool, the world’s best homemaker” dots its promotional campaigns.

Whirlpool has the distinction of having ISO certification for all its facilities in India. The refrigerator facility is located at Faridabad and manufactures a complete range of direct cool refrigerators. With the infusion of technology, machinery and streamlining the processes the capacity of this plant was increased from 700,000 to 1,000,000 annually.

Whirlpool’s commitment to the Indian operation has resulted in the setting up of a state-of-the-art facility for the manufacture of no frost refrigerators at Ranjangaon near Pune. This facility has set the standards as one of the world’s front runners in environmentally sensitive eco-friendly manufacturing units.

The washer facility is located at Pondicherry and manufactures both fully automatic and semi automatic washers. Constant feedback is taken from the consumers resulting in products being continuously upgrade in features and in styling.

Products manufactured in the above facilities match Whirlpool’s global standards and are exported to over 70 countries across the globe. Whirlpool of India is today India’s largest exporter of home appliance and has been approved as an Export House.

Design Engineering is being developed as a core competency for Whirlpool of India. A step in the direction has resulted in the setting up of Regional Technology Centres at Pune focussing on refrigerators and at Pondicherry for washers. This will provide WOI with a competitive edge in speedy customisation of products suited to consumer needs.

In the second phase of developing this core competency Whirlpool set up a Global Technology Centre at Pune in 2002 to provide design support for the global organisation. A design and development centre for Whirlpool’s global small appliances brand Kitchenaid has also been set up at Pondicherry. The already strong manufacturing and technology infrastructure was augmented by the establishment of a Global Consumer Design centre for Asia in New Delhi in 2005
