BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Whirlpool says it will cut 1,100 jobs and close a refrigerator factory in Evansville, Ind.
The jobs will be eliminated in mid-2010.
The Benton Harbor, Mich.-based appliance maker is still deciding what to do with 300 employees who work at a product-development center at the Evansville location.
Whirlpool plans to move the main Evansville production work to Mexico and another yet-to-be-decided location.
The company has aggressively cut costs as demand for big-ticket items has shrunk in the recession.
