Whirlpool To Create 100 Jobs at Ohio Plant

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland applauded the announcement of a $175 million investment by Whirlpool to integrate new energy-efficient automatic washer platforms, creating about 100 new jobs.

“Whirlpool’s plan to reinvest in Ohio and create jobs is terrific news,” Strickland said. “Ohio has had a proud partner in the Whirlpool Corp. for more than a half-century, and the company’s investment in the city of Clyde is a testament to the strong work ethic and manufacturing skill found in the community.”

Whirlpool Corporation’s Clyde Division is the largest automatic washer facility in the world and the largest producer of Whirlpool washing machines in North America.

The Clyde factory has a workforce of 2,500.
