Whirlpool have unveiled the new St. Joseph Technology Center located in St. Joseph, Michigan.
The $60+ million project is part of a three-phase plan to redesign an iconic research and development facility that has been home to a century of appliance innovations.

“In 1911, the first electric washing machines were built here in St. Joseph, Michigan, and we continue to grow that legacy with the investment in this new, state-of-the-art technology center,” said Whirlpool Corp. chairman and CEO, Marc Bitzer at the event.

The celebration was attended by several elected officials including Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and U.S. Representative Bill Huizenga,
