Lehel (appliances)
Lehel is the name of the largest Hungarian appliance company. The company was owned by the state during the socialist era (1945–1989), and was mostly known for its refrigerators, which were in widespread use. After two years of negotiations, the company was acquired by Electrolux for US$83 million in 1991. At the time of the acquisition, Lehel had about 5,000 employees and was considered one of the best functioning companies in Hungary.

Lehel
Lehel (or Lehal or Lail or Lehl or Lel) (died 955) was a Magyar chieftain, one of the military leaders of prince Taksony of Hungary, the descendant of Árpád. He was one of the more important figures of the Magyar invasions of Europe. He was captured at the Battle of Lechfeld, called the Battle of Augsburg by the Hungarians, and later executed in Regensburg.
Origin
Anonymus calls him the son of Tas, who was one of the "Seven chieftains of the Magyars", and descendent of Árpád. Most historians agree that there is a mismatch in the timing, so he should be the son of Tas, but the grandson of Árpád.
Dukedom
His dukedom was the Principality of Nitra, whose territory was the Kabarian part. The cities of Alsólelóc and Felsőlelóc kept the name of Lél. The dukedom could refer to the possibility of Lél being a would-be duke.
With Bulcsú and Súr, he led the Magyar forces at the Battle of Riade in 933.
Battle of Lechfeld
Lehel led the Nitrian Kabars at the Battle of Lechfeld. The commander was horka Bulcsú, who was not a descendent of the Árpád. The other main military leader was Súr.
