Nordmende was a manufacturer of entertainment electronics based in Bremen, Germany. It is now a brand name associated with audio-visual products throughout the world, but is perhaps best recognised in Ireland. The Nordmende brand name was relaunched in Ireland in September 2008 by the KAL Group. Although Nordmende was well known for its televisions throughout Ireland during the 1970s and 1980s, the company bought the rights to the name and launched a range of white goods including fridges, freezers, washing machines, and dishwashers, alongside a revamped range of flat-screen TVs and stereos. With the strap line Home Economics and the idea that savvy consumers demand much more for their money, the product range boasts great design, higher than average specifications and affordable prices. Nordmende Home Economics products are only available in the Irish and Northern Irish markets. In 2005 Videocon Group acquired all Cathode Ray Tubes’s activities from Thomson; thus was born VDC Technologies, which manufactures TV sets using the Nordmende brand under licence from Thomson. The original company, Radio H. Mende & Co was founded in 1923 by Otto Hermann Mende (1885-1940) in Dresden.
