- Several significant new laundry product innovations, which will be
produced at the company’s manufacturing facilities at Clyde, Ohio, and
Marion, Ohio. These products include the company’s new generation of
top-load washers and front-load dryers. Current plans call for an investment
of up to $145 million in these Ohio-based initiatives over a three-year
period. These investments remain subject to state and local incentive
approvals. The projects are part of the company’s ongoing effort to
expand its innovation capability and optimize its global operating platform.
- The completion of a production line for new counter-depth, side-by-side
refrigerators at Ft. Smith, Ark.
- A new line of top-mount refrigerators at Evansville, Ind.
- New built-in refrigeration products at Lavergne, Tenn.
- New cooking products at Tulsa, Okla.
- A wide range of new dishwasher models at Findlay, Ohio
These new investments, along with the company’s $100 million investment
announced in November of 2003, reflect the strategic role of Whirlpool’s
U.S. manufacturing base within the company’s global manufacturing and
distribution network. Products from the U.S. facilities are sold to
customers domestically and in markets around the world.
Approximately $80 million of the 2004 investment will be used to begin
work on the expansion of the company’s washer production facility in
Monterrey, Mexico, and the construction of a new refrigeration facility
in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuilla. The projects are part of the company’s ongoing
effort to expand its innovation capability and optimize its global operating
platform.
