The growth in capacity positions Whirlpool Corp. to become Argentina’s largest exporting company of household appliances, with the capability to finish a washing machine approximately every 40 seconds. It is expected that two thirds of what is manufactured will be exported to Latin America – primarily to Brazil – and generate an annual revenue of more than $50 million. The new plant will create 300 new jobs directly and is expected to also create more than 600 indirect jobs.

This recently opened production plant will bring multiple benefits to the community, always guaranteeing quality, responsibility and sustainability at every step. In addition, it will incorporate a production process with a very low environmental impact, since it will not have water effluents or gaseous emissions. It also features natural lighting throughout the establishment, achieving better optimization of electricity consumption, among other actions that make it the most modern and sustainable Whirlpool Corporation plant in the world.
