Appliance maker Whirlpool says
it expects to shift some refrigerator production from a plant at
Fort Smith to a new facility being built in Mexico.
The Michigan-based company says it plans additional investments
in its operations in Mexico. A new facility is expected to produce
Whirlpool`s next generation of side-by-side refrigerators for
Mexico`s domestic and export markets in 2005.
A company statement says Whirlpool expects that some models
currently made at Fort Smith will be produced at the new facility
-- but details will NOT be finalized until early 2005.
The company also says it is nearing completion of about 100
million dollars in investments at its U-S production facilities.
