====Domestic appliances====
Although Colombia has been producing domestic appliances since the 1930s, it wasn't until the late 1990s that Colombian corporations began exporting to neighboring countries. One of Colombia's largest producers of domestic appliances, [[HACEB]] has been producing refrigeration since 1940. Some domestic corporations include: Challenger, Kalley, [[HACEB]], Imusa, and Landers. In 2011, Groupe SEB acquired Imusa as a form to expand to the Latin American market.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.groupeseb.com/en-en/content/acquisition-imusa-conclusive-steps|title=Acquisition of Imusa : conclusive steps|work=Groupe SEB|date=Dec 2010|access-date=4 January 2015|archive-date=8 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180908092920/http://www.groupeseb.com/en-en/content/acquisition-imusa-conclusive-steps|url-status=dead}}</ref> Colombia also manufactures for foreign companies as well, such as Whirlpool and GE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.euromonitor.com/consumer-appliances-in-colombia/report|title=Consumer Appliances in Colombia|work=Euromonitor International|date=Jan 2015}}</ref> LG has also been interested in building a plant in Colombia.
