1. Introduction

The aim of this report is to design an Audio Visual (AV) range for a company who has had no previous experience within this market. The company we have chosen is The Indesit Company and it will be a product extension of the brand name Indesit.

Technology has driven dramatic sales growth in certain sectors of the UK market for consumer electronics, causing relatively rapid development in some areas of the market. However, technological advances often result in a change in consumer purchasing from an established product type.

The Indesit Company was formerly known as Merloni Elettrodomestici UK Limited and was formally renamed The Indesit Company effective January 2005.

The Indesit Company has launched their company with the following vision in mind:

"There is no value in the economic success of any industrial initiative if it is not also accompanied by commitment to social progress."

Aristide Merloni (1967)

The Indesit Company is based in Italy and is one of the top three white goods manufacturers in Europe, with around 16% of the market, and recorded sales of Ђ3 billion in 2003, with 13 million appliances sold in Europe. The company owns the Hotpoint, Cannon and Creda brands, which it acquired from GE/GDA in 2002. As such, the company is now the leading white goods supplier in the UK, with an estimated share of around 30% of all domestic appliance sales.

In 2004, The Indesit Company invested Ј16 million in the Hotpoint factory in North Wales in order to boost production of washing machines from 790,000 to 1 million units
