Carrier Global Corporation announced plans to invest an additional $1 billion over five years to expand manufacturing, innovation, and talent in the United States. The initiative is expected to create 4,000 jobs in research and development, manufacturing, and service.
The investment includes expansion of existing facilities and construction of a new manufacturing facility to produce components such as heat pumps and battery modules used in Carrier’s energy management system (HEMS). The funds will also be used to develop liquid cooling solutions for data centers and battery-based climate technologies developed by Carrier Energy, a startup focused on energy efficiency and grid support.
TechVantage, which launched in January, is part of an investment plan to hire 1,000 service technicians in the U.S. and train more than 100,000 professionals to install and service HVAC equipment over five years.
“This investment marks the next phase of our commitment to American manufacturing,” said David Gitlin, Carrier’s chairman and CEO. “We are building for the future by creating high-skilled jobs and empowering American workers to lead the next generation of manufacturing.”
Headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Carrier has grown its U.S. workforce by 20 percent over the past five years.
