Harvard International PLC
UK based trading company that sells products under the Goodmans and View21 brands worldwide in addition to distributing iLuv products in the UK, and selling consumer electronics in Australia and New Zealand under the Alba, Grundig and Bush brands.

Founded as a trading company by John Harris in 1963 as Harris International that operated in both the white goods and brown goods sectors and specialised in importing from the far east. Started using the Harvard Kyoto name in 1972 to brand Asian car audio products, changed its name to Harvard International in 1982 and around the same time dropped the Kyoto part from the brand. Entered the hi-fi market in 1985 using the Samurai brand, the company had bought the Alba Radio name in 1982 and started to use it on CE electronics that same year, since it was the company’s most successful brand by far the company changed their name to Alba PLC in 1987 and the company was floated on the London market later the same year.

The Bush Radio company was purchased in 1988 alongside the French Alba company (owned and run independently from the UK operation), bought Hinari in 1989 and the rights to the Goodmans trademark in 1994 (the old Goodmans loudspeaker company went on trading as Goodmans Loudspeakers Limited). Bought hoover brand name Dirt Devil in 1995, Italian/Swiss trading company Roadstar 1996, licenced the JCB name in 1999 for use on power tools and bought the Betacom and Answercall brands from Amstrad Limited later the same year. Acquired Pulse Home Products in 2001, the license to use the Ministry of Sound brand in 2002 and bought the consumer electronics division of Grundig in association with Beko Elektroniks in 2004 to form a new company called Grundig Multimedia BV.

The company was by the latter half of the 90’s the clear market leader in low end audio, A/V and other budget CE products in Britain with an annual turnover of 763.5 million pounds in 2005, but started to lose money on the CE part of the operation in the mid 2000’s and in particular the brown goods operations suffered even though the household and lifestyle product ranges continued to be profitable. Alba PLC responded by selling their Roadstar Managment SA division in Switzerland in 2007 to original founder Antonio Coda for 1 Euro and the rights to a 40% share of profits until 2011, in addition the company sold their 50% share in Grundig to Beko for 25 million pounds later that same year and the leisure division to Rutland Partners LLP for 51.5 million a little later, but that was the only division showing an operating profit and with it went a number of brand names as well such as Pulse Home Products, Breville, Kinetik, Nicky Clarke, JCB, Dirt Devil, Hinari, and Power Devil.

The company sold the Alba and Bush brands to Argos in 2008 for 15.25 million pounds in total but with the exception of Australia and New Zealand where the company still uses them but low key, also changed their name back to Harvard International later the same year as part of the Argos deal. Note that the company has never had any production facilities of its own but rather uses OEM's, and their design department has been solely occupied with designing UK only set-top boxes, all other designs have been bought in. The company was also sued by MPEGLA in 2007 and lost the case in 2009.
