Whirlpool CEO Says Trump’s Tariffs Have Created a “Level Playing Field”, Helped Spur Company’s $300 Million Expansion

[excalibur]

We are seeing this type of investment all across corporations in America.

Add in the recent JPMorgan Chase announcement too.

This will pay off in 2026 and beyond.

Whirlpool CEO Marc Bitzer said President Donald Trump’s tariff policies have created a “level playing field” for expanding U.S. manufacturing and incentivizing companies to invest in domestic production.

“What the tariff policy does [is] it makes a business case, an economic business case, just much more attractive,” Bitzer told Fox News in an Oct. 15 interview.

His remarks came as Whirlpool announced a $300 million investment in its U.S. laundry manufacturing facilities, a move the company described as “one in a series of strategic commitments to grow its American manufacturing footprint.”

Bitzer told Fox News that without Trump’s tariff measures, the company might have reduced, delayed, or possibly reconsidered the investment. But now, he said, Whirlpool views the policy landscape as stable enough to justify long-term commitments.

“Any investment is a bet for the future,” Bitzer said. “So, yes, our bet is that these tariff policies stay, it creates a level playing field and, therefore, these economic investments generate profitable returns.”

Whirlpool’s Oct. 15 announcement covers planned upgrades at its manufacturing plants in Clyde and Marion, Ohio, expected to create 400 to 600 new direct jobs and support up to 5,000 additional positions along the supply chain. The Marion dryer factory celebrated its 70th anniversary in September, while the Clyde facility—operating since 1952—remains the largest washing machine plant in the world.

I don't buy Whirlpool anymore.

I used to buy nothing but Whirlpool.

I had a Whirlpool dishwasher that lasted 20 years.
I replaced it with a new Whirlpool and it was busted in 3 years.
I bought a Samsung dishwasher and it was dead in just over a year because the main board fried because of a power outage.
Then I bought a Bosch dishwasher and that was the best dishwasher I've ever had.

This is actually an important post.

When domestic manufacturers are protected by the state, they become complacent and inefficient. They don’t innovate. Their quality gets worse and worse.

Why would they do the hard work of making a better product when the state is going to make the competition go away?

You mean shitty appliances and toilets with government certified energy star and water saver? What you said perfectly described the average government worker.

Making it go away? LG is building a new washing machine and dryer factory in my city. It is going alongside the chemical factory and aluminum plant.

You are full of shit as usual. Don't you ever get tired of being stupid?

Good for Ohio, still bad for Iowa. The 400 to 600 new non-union employees at its Whirlpool brand plants in Ohio more than offsets the 250 union employees laid off at Whirlpool's Amana brand plant in Iowa a few months back.

Unions are just a weapon used by democrats to attack American businesses and make them less competitive.

Democrats invest in America's competition then use their power in America to weaken American businesses.

Democrats = traitors
