Hotpoint appliances are made in different countries depending on where they are sold, due to split ownership. In the United States and Canada, Hotpoint appliances are made by GE Appliances, owned by Haier, in factories located in the United States. The main refrigerator plant is in Decatur, Georgia, and laundry and cooking appliances are made in plants in Lafayette, Georgia and Louisville, Kentucky, with the label Assembled in America from domestic and imported parts. These American-made Hotpoint models share platforms with GE models. In the United Kingdom and Europe, Hotpoint appliances are made by Beko Europe, which is 75 percent owned by Arcelik of Turkey and 25 percent by Whirlpool. European Hotpoint washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers are primarily made in factories in Lodz and Wroclaw in Poland, and in Italy and Slovakia. Historically, some Hotpoint models were made in Peterborough, UK, but that factory closed. In both regions, while final assembly is regional, many internal components like compressors, pumps, and electronics are sourced globally from China, Mexico, and other countries. So if you are in North America your Hotpoint is American-made, and if you are in Europe your Hotpoint is Polish or Italian-made, and the two product lines are completely different designs.

Hotpoint appliances are made primarily in Europe, with factories in UK, Italy, and Poland operated by Whirlpool Corporation EMEA division, which owns Hotpoint brand in Europe since 2014 acquisition, plus some builder models made in US by GE Appliances owned by Haier. Hotpoint was originally founded in 1911 in California, USA as American brand, but in Europe Hotpoint brand was owned by Indesit Company based in Fabriano, Italy. In 2014, Whirlpool Corporation headquartered in Benton Harbor, Michigan, USA acquired Indesit Company for about 1 billion euros, gaining Hotpoint and Indesit brands, with manufacturing at Yate in UK for tumble dryers, Fabriano, Italy for washing machines and dishwashers, and Lodz, Poland for other appliances, with Made in Europe label, using Whirlpool platforms but with Hotpoint branding as budget line below Whirlpool brand. Some Hotpoint small appliances may be made by other factories under license in other countries. In North America, Hotpoint brand rights are with GE Appliances, which was acquired by Haier Group in 2016, and GE Appliances makes some builder-grade Hotpoint models in Louisville, Kentucky, USA with Made in USA label for US market, but main Hotpoint market is UK and Europe where appliances are European-made. So Hotpoint appliances are made in UK, Italy, and Poland by Whirlpool Corporation for European market, and some models made in Louisville, Kentucky, USA by GE Appliances owned by Haier for North American builder market.
