As part of a more than $20-million dollar investment plan begun last year, Benton Harbor-based Whirlpool Corporation announced today the completion of its manufacturing facility expansion in La Tablada city, located in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina. The development began last year when the facility started manufacturing ranges. The facility will now also manufacture front load washing machines with Sense Inverter technology.

This investment will result in the addition of approximately one hundred new and three hundred indirect jobs.

Armando Valle Jr. is Vice President of Whirlpool Latin America. He says today, “We’re thrilled this significant facility expansion will help us bring the latest innovations to the Argentine market faster, and allow us to hire top talent.” He adds, “We’re also proud to be part of a milestone in Whirlpool Corporation history, adding Argentina to the company’s roster of facilities that already includes 70 manufacturing and technology research centers around the world.”

This facility represents the completion of a two-year project to allow the company to bring its global platform and new innovation to this important market, and to customize those innovations to meet the needs of consumers in this region.
