Carrier invests $1B to expand climate solutions manufacturing facilities in the United States
Carrier Global Corporation has announced plans to invest $1 billion to expand its manufacturing operations and innovation capabilities across multiple U.S. locations. The company, which provides intelligent climate and energy solutions, will create 4,000 new jobs in research and development, manufacturing, and field services.
The investment will support the expansion of existing facilities and the construction of a new manufacturing site that will produce highly engineered components for heat pumps and battery assemblies—key products in Carrier's Home Energy Management System (HEMS). The new site and facility upgrades will also advance next-generation research and development, including technologies for liquid cooling systems for data centers and battery-enabled climate solutions.
Carrier’s investment will fund the growth of Carrier Energy, the company’s in-house startup focused on optimizing home energy use and supporting grid flexibility. The investment also includes Carrier’s TechVantage program, which aims to hire 1,000 service technicians and train over 100,000 professionals in climate solutions service and sales over five years to support the installation and servicing of high-performance systems.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, David Gitlin, Chairman and CEO, Carrier, said, "This investment marks the next chapter in our commitment to U.S. manufacturing. We are building for the future by creating high-quality, skilled trade careers and empowering American workers to lead the next generation of manufacturing. At the same time, it positions Carrier to capture the tremendous growth ahead in our industry and deliver smart, differentiated solutions for our customers."
