Is Amana a Canadian brand?

No, Amana is not a Canadian brand; Amana is an American brand with different parent companies for appliances and HVAC. Amana was originally founded in 1934 in Middle Amana, Iowa, in the United States, by George C. Foerstner as The Electrical Equipment Co., named after the Amana Colonies in Iowa, and it became famous for inventing the Amana Radarange microwave oven. For home appliances including refrigerators, washers, dryers, and dishwashers, Amana is now owned by Whirlpool Corporation, headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, which acquired Amana in 2001, making it an American brand owned by an American company. For HVAC including furnaces and air conditioners, Amana is owned by Daikin Industries, headquartered in Osaka, Japan, which acquired Goodman Manufacturing and its Amana HVAC brand in 2012, with manufacturing in Waller, Texas. While Amana appliances and HVAC are sold in Canada through retailers like Home Depot Canada, Best Buy Canada, and Canadian HVAC dealers, and are certified to CSA standards, Amana is not Canadian owned or manufactured in Canada. Canadian-owned appliance brands include Danby, while Canadian-owned HVAC includes Napoleon.
