In a move that signals a major win for American manufacturing and skilled labor, HVAC heavyweight Carrier Global Corporation has announced a massive $1 billion investment that will supercharge its U.S. operations over the next five years. The investment is expected to directly lead to the creation of 4,000 high-skill American jobs — a move that puts the spotlight back on American workers and domestic innovation.
The Florida-based company, headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, currently operates with a workforce of roughly 48,000 globally, with a sizable portion based in the U.S. Now, Carrier is doubling down on its home turf, unveiling plans for a new advanced manufacturing plant and a sweeping expansion of existing facilities.
According to the company’s press release, this billion-dollar infusion is aimed at “U.S. manufacturing, innovation and workforce expansion, incremental to its ongoing commitments to American operations.” A major part of this push includes ramping up research and development (R&D), modernizing production, and putting more boots on the ground in manufacturing and service roles.
“This investment marks the next chapter in our commitment to U.S. manufacturing,” said David Gitlin, Carrier’s Chairman and CEO. “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.”
