Carrier to invest more than $600 million to expand advanced U.S. manufacturing and engineering capacity
"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 Carrier's commercial momentum, expanding the company's U.S. manufacturing capacity for advanced thermal management systems, including air- and water-cooled commercial chillers, and helping customers meet growing demand for intelligent climate and energy solutions across data centers, healthcare, education, industrial markets and other key verticals.
Carrier is expected to begin operations in the more than 1-million-square-foot facility in 2027. The investment will create 1,500 advanced 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.
"I'm proud that Fort Worth continues to be one of the top cities in the nation for advanced manufacturing, and this investment by Carrier is just the latest example of the momentum we're building," said Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker. "With the creation of 1,500 high-quality jobs, this project will add to Fort Worth's manufacturing hub at AllianceTexas while strengthening our energy and technology industries for years to come."
"The Fort Worth momentum continues. This new investment from Carrier is a powerful statement about what's possible in our city. It demonstrates that Fort Worth is rapidly becoming a center of choice for advanced manufacturing and engineering services — a destination where companies choose to come to invest, expand and grow," said President and CEO of Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership Robert Allen.
"Carrier's decision to invest in Fort Worth and create new jobs is a significant win for our region," said Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Companies. "A global company of Carrier's scale choosing AllianceTexas underscores our region's momentum in advanced manufacturing and the strength of the workforce, infrastructure and supply chain connectivity that continue to attract major employers. We're proud to welcome Carrier and look forward to having them as part of this community."
"With nearly half a million manufacturing jobs open today in the U.S., building the workforce of tomorrow is just as important as building the facilities of tomorrow. By creating good-paying skilled jobs and workforce training opportunities, Carrier is making an investment not only for this community, but in America's long-term competitiveness and economic growth," said the National Association of Manufacturers.
This landmark 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.
