Where we've come from
Haier's story begun in the early 1980's when Liebherr, a leading German appliance maker,
sold its technology and manufacturing know-how to a small refrigeration factory in Qingdao.
Jump forward to the early 1990's when that company became Haier, quickly transforming
into the number one appliance company in China.
Today, Haier is the number one major appliances brand in the
world. We have a network of design centres including a leading research and development centre
in New Zealand with the cutting-edge Fisher & Paykel team.
