Email Limited was the largest company in Australia associated with the white goods industry, with major appliance brands including Westinghouse, Kelvinator, Frigidaire, Simpson, and Malleys.

The operations include the manufacture, distribution, and service of a range of domestic and commercial refrigerators, freezers, radios, televisions, electric ranges, gas stoves, microwave ovens, dishwashers, room and air conditioners, washing machines, and clothes dryers.

The company was formed from the merger of Electricity Meter Manufacturing Co. Pty. Ltd., established in 1912, and New System Telephones Pty. Ltd., established in 1920. The company was incorporated in New South Wales on 30 November 1934 as Electricity Meter & Allied Industries Ltd. [1]

Email absorbed Airzone (1931) Ltd. in February 1946. [2]

Also in February, Email obtained the former Orange Small Arms Factory at Orange, New South Wales, which was refitted to manufacture electricity meters, pumps, radio parts, and refrigerators, using state of the art technologies and manufacturing concepts.[3]

The company adopted the Email name (an acronym) in October 1951. [4]

In November 2000 the Electrolux Group signed a Heads of Agreement with Email Ltd. to acquire the Major Appliances Business of Email Ltd., Australia’s leading producer of household appliances.
The purchase price will be approximately AUD 485 million. [5]
