Electrolux was founded in 1919 in Stockholm, Sweeden by Axel Wenner-Gren, the genius who invented the home sales model. He launched his first vacuum cleaner – the LUX 1 in 1912. Wenner-Gren’s ground-breaking introduction of home sales was a genius approach, as it allowed the sales representatives to showcase the new product, while meeting the buyer in person, thus gaining valuable insights in how consumers actually used the products. The rest, as they say, is history.
