Electrolux in Anderson, only a two weeks after donating more than $170,000 to local charitable organizations, announced a $200 million investment to expand its existing manufacturing facility in the county.

"It is wonderful when one of our longtime employers proposes to make such a large investment in our Anderson community," said Anderson County Councilman Tommy Dunn. "I believe this means our relationship with Electrolux grows stronger every year, and it also proves that when you invest with Anderson County, we stand with you every day."

With close to 1,500 employees, Electrolux is among Anderson's largest manufacturing employer. 

Electrolux offers innovative and sustainable solutions for home and professional appliances, including refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, freezers and washing machines. Under brands such as Frigidaire, Electrolux, AEG and more, the company sells more than 60 million products to customers in more than 150 markets each year.

Located at 101 Masters Boulevard in Anderson, Electrolux plans to modernize its facility and create the opportunity to expand production, adding 800,000 square feet for manufacturing capacity and warehousing. Construction will begin in the summer of 2017 and continue through 2019. 

"Electrolux is committed to U.S. manufacturing. The plant will be in a strong position to meet growing demand and the future needs we see in the market to ensure long-term competitiveness," said Electrolux Major Appliances North America President and CEO Alan Shaw.
