alanThank you for the information and for taking time to reply, it is appreciated. I agree that it is difficult to find all the data regarding Aspera!
Indeed, there is a Whirlpool link to Aspera. I have now found the Whirlpool history in a business publication. It lists that in 1985/6 that Whirlpool bought “A majority interest in Aspera s.r.l., an Italian compressor manufacturer”. Aspera produced refrigerator compressors since the 1950s, at that time the company was called Aspera Frigo.
Just for interest, a little bit of info about Whirlpool: We know Whirlpool in the UK for kitchen appliances, but it is not a recently formed business. It was started in 1911 as The Upton Machine Co. in St Joseph, Michigan, they produced an electric motor driven wringer washer. In 1948 the Whirlpool brand was introduced.
