What it takes to be America's Home Appliance Company.

We are the only major manufacturer of kitchen and laundry appliances based and owned in the U.S. We believe the best way to serve American families is to do our business right here where they live.

We started here.

Whirlpool was founded in 1911 in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Our commitment to American families has never wavered since—giving us an even greater understanding of the changing needs inside American homes.

We stayed here.

Meanwhile, our competitors moved or stayed overseas. GE Appliances was sold to the Chinese multinational company Qingdao Haier in 2016. Also, the vast majority of appliances sold in the U.S. by Korean companies LG and Samsung are made in foreign factories - resulting in fewer American jobs.

We build here.

Approximately 80% of the major appliances we sell in the U.S. come from our American factories* — that’s three times more than the average of our major competitors. And approximately 96% of the steel we use is American, too, across Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag, Amana, and InSinkErator product lines.

We invest here.

In the past 10 years, we’ve spent $23 billion on manufacturing, labor and logistics to support approximately 20,000 American jobs, including 14,000 manufacturing jobs across 10 American factories. We’re not just invested in America, we’re made with America.

We care here.

We've worked alongside Habitat for Humanity for more than 25 years, building hundreds of homes and supporting nearly 200,000 American households. As one of the United Way’s largest local contributors, we meaningfully support the communities where we operate. Our Feel Good Fridge program helps fight food insecurity with refurbished refrigerators. And our employees volunteer their personal time—all to help create and support thriving American communities.
