Carrier Global Corporation announced it will invest an additional $1 billion over five years to expand U.S. manufacturing, innovation and workforce development. The company expects this initiative to create 4,000 skilled jobs in research and development, manufacturing, and field service roles.
The investment includes expanding existing sites and constructing a new manufacturing facility for components such as heat pumps and battery assemblies used in Carrier’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS). It will also support R&D in liquid cooling for data centers and battery-based climate technologies developed by Carrier Energy, the company’s in-house startup focused on energy efficiency and grid support.
Carrier’s TechVantage program, launched in January, is part of the planned investment. It aims to hire 1,000 U.S. service technicians and train over 100,000 professionals in climate solutions installation and servicing over five years.
“This investment marks the next chapter in our commitment to U.S. manufacturing,” said David Gitlin, Chairman and CEO of Carrier. “We are building for the future by creating high-quality, skilled trade careers and empowering American workers to lead the next generation of manufacturing.”
Carrier, headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, reports a 20 percent increase in its U.S. workforce over the past five years.
