FALL RIVER TOUR: Matt Conn, senior marketing and product development manager, leads a group of Massachusetts state and local officials, representatives from Hercules Corporation and others during the tour of the Whirlpool Corporation manufacturing facility in Fall River, Massachusetts

 

Several Massachusetts elected officials along with key Whirlpool Corporation leadership took a behind-the-scenes tour on 13 September of the Whirlpool Corporation manufacturing facility in Fall River, Massachusetts. The state-of-the-art facility represents the completion of a multi-year project and features an assembly line solely dedicated to the Maytag Commercial Laundry brand’s rigid and soft-mount multi-load washers.

“The Fall River facility allows us to expand our product capabilities and to provide our customers in the vended and on-premises laundry markets with options for greater flexibility and control,” said Trey Northrup, general manager of Commercial Laundry and JennAir for Whirlpool Corporation. “With this capacity, we are able to be more nimble in our product offerings, delivering customised products and compelling solutions to our global customers.”

Designed to handle heavy loads of laundry turn after turn, the Maytag Multi-Load Washer is available in 20-65lb sizes and represents the brand’s newest solution for the industry, specifically in the vended and on-premises laundry markets. The washers are engineered to deliver G-forces of 200 for rigid-mounts and 400 for soft-mounts – to achieve maximum extraction and efficient throughput.

The washer will be available in the 30lb rigid-mount this October while remaining sizes and configurations will be introduced over the next nine months. The washer is backed by Maytag's parts warranty – 10/5 years for the vended market and 5/3 years for the on-premises laundry market.

Hercules Corporation, a member of the commercial laundry industry for almost 60 years and one of the first companies to place an order for the new washer, was present during the behind-the-scenes tour.

“For us, the Maytag brand has long since represented reliability and dependability,” said Andrew May, CEO and president of Hercules Corporation. “That tradition continues with Maytag's Multi-Load Washer, which showcases the brand’s leadership in engineering, design and manufacturing. We are looking forward to how this new solution will help us meet the increasing demands of the industry.”
