Carrier will invest an additional $US1 billion over five years in US manufacturing, innovation and workforce expansion, incremental to its ongoing commitments to American operations.
The investment is expected to create 4,000 highly skilled jobs in R&D, manufacturing and field service.
Carrier chair & CEO, David Gitlin, said Carrier is 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,” he said.
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 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 bold, 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 $1 billion investment and anticipated 4,000 jobs.
The program 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.
This effort is focused on developing the skilled workforce needed to support the installation and servicing of high-performance climate solutions systems.
Over the past five years, the company has grown its US workforce by approximately 20 per cent, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to American manufacturing, innovation and economic growth.
