Our Story
The name Midea sounds like "My Dear" in English, a deliberate choice that captures the brand's user-first warmth. In Mandarin, the same characters mean "aesthetics" and "beauty." Both meanings have shaped Midea since its founding in 1968 by a 23-person team in the small town of Shunde, China.
"Make Yourself At Home."
