 PROFILE
With brand names recognized by anyone who ever separated dark colors from light, Whirlpool is the #1 US home appliance maker (#2 worldwide, after Sweden's AB Electrolux). The company makes washers, dryers, dishwashers, microwave ovens, ranges, refrigerators, and air conditioners, among other appliances. Products are marketed under brand names such as Kenmore and Sears (about 20% of Whirlpool's sales), Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Inglis, and Speed Queen. Whirlpool, which makes products in 13 countries and sells them in 170, gets nearly 60% of its sales from North America. The company is reducing its workforce by up to 10% to cut costs in the wake of an industry slowdown.
