 Grundig Turkish pronunciation: German pronunciation: is a Turkish consumer electronics manufacturer.^[1] It is owned by Arçelik A.Ş the white goods (major appliance) manufacturer of Turkish conglomerate Koç Holding. The company manufactures domestic appliances and personal-care products.

Originally a German local consumer electronics company, Grundig GmbH was founded in 1945 by Max Grundig and eventually headquartered in Nuremberg. It grew to become one of the leading manufacturers in the world of radio, TV, recording and other electronic equipment in the following decades of the 20th century. In the 1970s, Philips began acquiring Grundig AG’s shares, leading to complete control in 1993. In 1998, Philips divested Grundig. In 2007, Koç Holding bought Grundig and put the brand under its home-appliances subsidiary Arcelik A.Ş. Koç is a publicly listed conglomerate with more than 80,000 employees.

Grundig began in 1945 with the establishment of a store named Fürth, Grundig & Wurzer, which sold radios and was headquartered in Fürth, northern Bavaria. After the Second World War, Max Grundig recognized the need for radios in Germany, and in 1947 produced a kit, while a factory and administration centre were built at Fürth. In 1951, the first television sets were manufactured at the new facility. At the time Grundig was the largest radio manufacturer in Europe. Divisions were established in Nuremberg, Frankfurt and Karlsruhe.

In 2013, Grundig launched its home appliances (white goods) product range, becoming one of the mainstream manufacturers in Europe. Parent Arcelik A.Ş., has more than 27,000 employees worldwide. Grundig has manufacturing plants in several European cities that deliver their products to more than 65 countries around the world.

Grundig started as a typical German company in 1945. Its early notability was due to Grundig radio. Max Grundig, a radio dealer, built a machine called “Heinzelmann“, which was a radio that came without thermionic valves and as a do it yourself kit to circumvent post war rules. The first of the same was named the Weltklang.

Based on the success of the Heinzelmann, Grundig opened a factory. This allowed the company to start Grundig TV. This was created for the first German television channel which started in 1952. The company then developed a portable tape recorder and The Grundig Television Receiver 210.
