Whirlpool has announced a $300 million investment in its laundry manufacturing facilities in Ohio, expecting to create up to 600 new jobs in Clyde and Marion. The Clyde facility is the world’s largest washing machine plant, while Marion produces dryers. This investment will receive support from JobsOhio and tax credits from the State of Ohio. Whirlpool emphasizes its commitment to American manufacturing, with about 80% of appliances sold in the U.S. made domestically, significantly higher than competitors. Despite market challenges, Whirlpool’s domestic focus is seen as a competitive advantage.
