Hygena
Hygena is a brand of fitted kitchen, originally from the United Kingdom. Started in Liverpool in 1925 to make Hoosier cabinets, it was bought by new investors in 1938, who after the war built modular kitchens for the new British post-war temporary prefab houses. With the introduction of design concepts based on the Frankfurt kitchen and new materials such as formica, Hygena became the dominant brand in kitchens from the 1960s through the 1970s. But mass manufacture and a change in styles meant that it ended up as an economy brand in the UK, bought out in the 1980s by MFI Group. As its parent faced financial difficulties in 2000s, they sold the European rights to Nobia, who on MFI's bankruptcy bought the global brand rights. Nobia continue to successfully sell the brand in France today. The brand has now been relaunched in the UK through Homebase and Argos (retailer) stores
==Foundation==
The Hygena Cabinet Co. Ltd was established in 1925 in Liverpool by George Nunn and Len Cooklin, to make a variety of the then popular Hoosier cabinets. As the Hoosier dwindled in popularity, so did the company's sales, resulting in the company's going bankrupt in 1938.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hoosier cabinet - "Hygena Cabinet Co., Ltd., Liverpool." )〕
Bought up by new investors,〔 it made produce for the Ministry of War during World War II. Returning to civilian production, it became involved with the design and manufacture of kitchens for post-war temporary prefab houses. The Ministry of Works had specified a set of design conformance instructions, while the majority of manufacturers were using former war-time scale facilities, which resulted in a preference for factory-based mass manufacture.
