Carrier to invest $1bn in US manufacturing

USA: Carrier has announced plans to invest an additional $1bn over five years in US manufacturing, innovation and workforce expansion. 

The investment is expected to create 4,000 jobs in R&D, manufacturing and field service.

Describing the investment as the next chapter in the company’s commitment to US manufacturing, Carrier chairman and CEO David Gitlin said: “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.”

A company statement says the additional investment will fund the expansion of existing facilities and construction of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing site to support the production of highly engineered components for heat pumps and battery assemblies – both seen as essential to Carrier’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS). 

It will also accelerate next-generation R&D, including innovations in liquid cooling for data centres and battery-enabled climate solutions technologies developed under Carrier Energy, the company’s in-house start-up focused on optimising home energy use and supporting grid flexibility.

Carrier’s TechVantage initiative, announced in January, is included in both the $1bn investment and anticipated 4,000 jobs. The programme aims to hire 1,000 US service technicians and train more than 100,000 climate solutions service and sales professionals over the next five years.
