Carrier Global today announced plans to invest more than $600 million over the next three years in a new advanced manufacturing and engineering center in Fort Worth, Texas.
Carrier said its commercial HVAC business is facing record backlog levels and a growing pipeline across many key verticals. The new site makes it the largest U.S.-headquartered company in its industry, the company said.
"This investment reflects the strong demand we are securing for high-performance, energy-efficient solutions and underscores our confidence in the future of American manufacturing," said Carrier Chairman & CEO David Gitlin. "By expanding our U.S. manufacturing and engineering footprint, we are increasing capacity for critical technologies, strengthening supply chain resilience and creating high-quality jobs. We are proud to partner with the Fort Worth community and the State of Texas as we invest in the workforce, innovation and manufacturing capabilities needed to support our customers' growth for decades to come."
This investment supports U.S. manufacturing capacity for advanced thermal management systems, including air- and water-cooled commercial chillers.
Carrier is expected to begin operations in the more than 1-million-square-foot facility in 2027. The investment will create 1,500 manufacturing, engineering and other jobs. Consistent with Carrier's 2030 Sustainability and Impact Goals, the new Fort Worth center is expected to pursue LEED certification. Fort Worth was selected because of its highly skilled workforce, strong manufacturing base and strategic location that will support the facility's long-term growth and success.
This facility represents the next chapter in Carrier's legacy of innovation, combining state-of-the-art engineering labs with dedicated workforce development organizations. Carrier will partner with local schools and colleges to help prepare the next generation of skilled talent.
