In 1911, the Upton Brothers (Louis, Frederick, and Emory) created
the Upton Machine Company in St. Joseph, MI to produce electric,
motor-driven wringer washers. Joined with Sears, Roebuck and Co. in
1916, the Upton-manufactured washers sold faster than the brothers
could manufacture them, thus creating the mutually beneficial
relationship between Sears and Whirlpool.
Since the 1970s, Whirlpool has been a pioneer of energy and water
efficiency measures in its research and development practices.
Whirlpool continues its long history of being involved with the U.S.
Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY
STAR® program and has been named ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year
seven times.
"Whirlpool is delighted to once again be named an Energy Star
partner. We succeed as a company by being able to offer our
customers a broad range of appliances under a number of brands, many
of which are Energy Star qualified. These appliances save money for
our customers by lowering their utility bills and help protect the
environment," says David L. Swift, Whirlpool’s Executive Vice
President for North America.
Today the Whirlpool Corporation remains the largest North
American supplier of major appliances to Sears under the Kenmore
brand. Internationally, Whirlpool is also recognized for energy
efficient appliances, as well as for their commitment to
environmental packaging, production, and design. Whirlpool is the
world’s leading manufacturer and marketer of major home appliances,
becoming a trusted household name all over the world.
Located in Benton Harbor, MI, Whirlpool’s Corporate Headquarters
focuses on the social responsibilities to their community and to the
environment. "At Whirlpool Corporation we take our environmental
responsibilities very seriously. Just as we have taken a global
approach to our home appliance business, we believe our world’s
environmental issues must be addressed in a similarly comprehensive
way," says Jeff M. Fettig, President, Chairman and CEO of Whirlpool
Corporation.
Whirlpool also donated a $1 million in cash, products, and
services to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in 2005, and the
Whirlpool foundation continues to match generous employee
contributions. These contributions include refrigerators, air
purifiers, clothes, washers, and dryers. "A tragedy of this
magnitude calls for the assistance of able individuals and
organizations," says Fettig. "As a company, we are grateful to help
relief efforts in the most fitting way possible."
With more than 80,000 employees and over 60 manufacturing and
technology research centers worldwide, Whirlpool transformed itself
from a regional manufacturing and trade-focused business into a
global enterprise. The success of Whirlpool’s global business is
driven by its ability to truly understand and fulfill customer
needs, develop highly innovative solutions, and continuously improve
productivity and quality.
"Creating unmatched customer loyalty for our brands is the
cornerstone of our strategy. This simple idea is based on an
in-depth understanding of our customers’ needs, wants, and
expectations, so that we can consistently deliver unique, innovative
solutions to meet or exceed these expectations," adds Fettig.
Customer loyalty lead Whirlpool to years of success with annual
sales of more than $19 billion, marketing brands like Maytag,
KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana, to name a few. Based on the
continuing success of Whirlpool’s global innovation process, which
began in 1999, Whirlpool has introduced unique product innovations
to consumers worldwide.
One such innovative product that Whirlpool now offers is the
Whirlpool HEPA filter air purifier. Whirlpool’s Energy Star
Qualified air purifiers feature charcoal pre-filters to trap odors,
True HEPA filters to remove 99.97% of particulate matter, and quiet
operation.
Using a HEPA filter that only needs to be replaced once a year,
the Whirlpool air purifier contains an indicator light which alerts
you when it’s time to replace your HEPA air filter. Small and
discretely designed, the Whirlpool Quiet Partner® system, included
in every air purifier, is the quietest high-efficiency air purifier
technology available. Whirlpool air purifiers offer a three-speed
fan, allowing you to control the noise level.
For more than five decades, Whirlpool has steadily expanded its
product line, revenues, and global footprint using innovation and
customer commitment. "We are constantly seeking out new and unique
ways to improve the function, performance, and sustainability of our
products. We want our brands to be the brands customers trust in
every home…everywhere," says Fettig. Trust the Whirlpool name and
find a Whirlpool air purifier that fits your needs..
