Maytag was founded by Frederick Louis Maytag, a young field-hand who saw a way to make safe and labour saving tools. He opened his first factory with his brothers-in-law and a friend, George W. Parsons, in Newton, Iowa in 1893. At first, they produced farm tools, but due to their success in 1893 with producing a safer threshing machine, went on to produce home kitchen appliances as well. One of Maytag's most crowning moments was when it produced the breathing equipment for the Mount Everest Expedition in 1963, so a company that has been successful in many areas as well as kitchen appliances.

Before Maytag was acquisitioned by the Whirlpool Corporation it was one of the top three companies in the North American domestic appliance market.

Maytag also had an international division called DOMICOR. This was set up in 1988, but the name was changed to Maytag International, inc. in 1992. This Part of the company eventually dealt with all of Maytag's international ventures, including Maytag Australia, Maytag Commercial (Mexico), Maytag Canada, and Maytag UK. The base for Maytag International, inc. was Schaumburg in Illinois and its network extended to over 70 countries across the globe.When Maytag was acquired by the Whirlpool Corporation it had fourteen manufacturing plants across the United States and Mexico.

But the brand still exists and it stands for long-lasting and dependable products. With this particular brand, you do get what you pay for- a Maytag appliance is a symbol of style with reliability. Maytag's appliances tend to come with a choice of the ever popular stainless steel, clean-looking white or glossy black and its American style appliances are as popular as ever due to their size and range of features, including cold, filtered water in the American style fridge freezers. The endurance of a Maytag appliance has been worked on for over 100 years and the Vara Dishwasher has been tested to do up to 15 years work and is rated A for energy efficiency.
