en.Wedoany.com Reported - Whirlpool Corporation plans to invest over $60 million to transform an existing facility in Perrysburg, Ohio, into a manufacturing base to support its appliance assembly operations in the United States. The manufacturing plant will produce components and subassemblies for washing machines and dryers, supplying nearby manufacturing facilities, as part of its effort to strengthen its domestic production network.
The project is expected to create 100 to 150 jobs and introduce advanced manufacturing technologies and automation systems over the next two years as the facility is upgraded. Perrysburg Mayor Mark Weber stated, "This is exactly the type of investment we take pride in here in Perrysburg. It means quality jobs for our residents, sustained growth for a strong local employer, and a clear vote of confidence in our workforce and community."
Whirlpool indicated that the manufacturing plant will serve as a regional support center, helping to improve supply chain efficiency for its Ohio operations. This investment follows the company's earlier announcement of a $300 million expansion in washer manufacturing capacity, adding new production lines and hundreds of jobs. The new facility will combine automation with human capabilities to enhance manufacturing precision and efficiency.
Whirlpool Chairman and CEO Marc Bitzer emphasized, "Whirlpool Corporation is strengthening its commitment to American manufacturing. On a level playing field, our American workers can outperform anyone in the world." Whirlpool operates 11 manufacturing plants in the U.S., six of which are in Ohio, with the majority of its major appliances produced domestically. The company stated that this investment reflects its continued focus on reinforcing U.S. manufacturing and supply chain resilience.
