The Michigan-based manufacturer, which started in the U.S. in 1911 and has stayed in the U.S. throughout its history, is preparing to ramp up production at two Ohio facilities.
Whirlpool Corporation today announced a planned $300 million investment in its U.S. laundry manufacturing facilities, one in a series of strategic commitments to grow its American manufacturing footprint. This investment is expected to create between 400 and 600 new jobs across the company’s operations in Clyde and Marion, Ohio, positioning Whirlpool Corp. for increased production of its next generation of washers and dryers, while also supporting approximately 5,000 additional jobs outside the company.

Electrolux layoffs
Electrolux, with a newly-expanded plant in Anderson County, announced thousands of layoffs that will affect workers across the globe.
Last week the company said it is implementing a cost reduction and restructuring program to increase earnings.
Electrolux says between 3,500 and 4,000 positions companywide will be impacted by the program in the last quarter of 2022.
“Regarding business area North America, I am obviously very disappointed with our performance,” said CEO Jonas Samuelson. “The production transformation with the two new facilities Anderson and Springfield including several new product platforms, in combination with the particularly challenging supply chain conditions, require additional measures to return to stability and profitability.”
Samuelson said stabilizing and improving operational planning in Anderson is part of the North American turnaround plan.
