Whirlpool Corporation plans to expand its operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma with the addition of a new Factory Distribution Center (FDC). Adjacent to its existing manufacturing plant, the warehouse will support increased production capacity and improve efficiencies within the existing supply chain across North America, while simultaneously supporting growth in the region. 
Construction of the new 798,000 square-foot facility is expected to begin in mid-November 2018, with a targeted completion date of December 2019.
«This new facility – said Jim Keppler, vice president, Integrated Supply Chain and Quality – North America Region at Whirlpool Corporation – will help us streamline operations, from both a production and distribution standpoint, and ultimately allow us to better serve our customers throughout the region. This investment is a testament to our skilled workforce in Tulsa and our strong relationship with the state of Oklahoma and the Tulsa community. We’re excited to break ground and bring this project to life.»
