Whirlpool's new DA washer

[vacerator]

Final assembly

for the USA is Clyde Ohio, along with front loading Whirlpool Duets, and Maytag Epic and the top of the line front loaders.
Parts come from Reynosa Mexico.
Dryers are assembled in Findlay Ohio, and or Marion. Dishwashers in Findlay. Ranges and ovens in Marion, and Mexico. Refrigerators all Mexico.
Only headquarters and engineering and design are still in Benton Harbor.

In ligth of

culture shifts, and young people not wanting factory work anymore, I think we will see entire appliances imported more. Not overnight, so long as sales are strong enough. Whirlpool isn't looking to put near retirees on the street before they are ready, I hope.

Refrigerators all Mexico -- NOT true.  Amana, IA makes the bottom mount refrigs.  They also do freezers in Ottawa, Oh.

 

Maytag Epic  -- has been out of production for some time & was made in Germany.  Now the Maxima is in the US.

I was trying to

remember the "Maxima". So the Epic was built by Bauknecht?
I didn't know they made any fridges stateside, since WP closed the Fort Smith Arkansas plant. Glad they do.
