History
In 1947, Amana produced the first upright freezer for the house, and in 1949 added a side-by-side refrigerator. In 1950 the company was sold to a group of investors, including its founders, and became Amana Refrigeration, Inc.
In 1954, he started making air conditioning. Amana was acquired in 1965 by Raytheon, who had invented the microwave oven in 1947, and introduced the commercial Radarange Model 1611 in 1954. In 1967 Amana introduced the consumer model of Radarange , the first popular microwave designed for home use.
Amana has since grown to become a manufacturer of various other equipment, including furnaces, ovens, table ranges, dishwashers, and washers and dryers.
In 1997, the company was purchased by Goodman Global (now part of Daikin North America), a heating-and-cooler manufacturer that sold it to Maytag (now part of Whirlpool) in 2002. Goodman still owns the AC division and Amana furnace, and equipment Amana's home is now owned and manufactured by Whirlpool Corporation.
