<\/p>\nCarrier is building a massive manufacturing hub to keep up with surging tech demand.<\/p>\n
FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 Carrier Global Corp. announced plans Thursday to invest more than $600 million over the next three years to build a new advanced manufacturing and engineering center in Fort Worth, creating 1,500 jobs.<\/p>\n
The HVAC and energy solutions giant expects to begin operations at the new facility, which will span more than 1 million square feet, in 2027. The project will expand commercial chiller production and strengthen the company\u2019s domestic manufacturing footprint.<\/p>\n

Company executives said the expansion comes in response to record backlog levels driven by demand across data centers, healthcare, education, and industrial markets.<\/p>\n
The positions created will span advanced manufacturing, engineering, and support roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
Fort Worth was chosen for its skilled workforce, manufacturing base, and strategic location. The new center will be located at AllianceTexas and will include state-of-the-art engineering labs alongside workforce development programs in partnership with local schools and colleges.<\/p>\n
City officials welcomed the major economic investment.<\/p>\n
“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,” Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker said. “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.”<\/p>\n
“This is an incredible win for North Fort Worth and the entire city,” Fort Worth City Councilmember, Chris Jamieson of District 10 said.<\/p>\n
AllianceTexas is a 270,000 acre mixed-use development developed by Hillwood. The development already touts 602 corporate residents and over 73,000 jobs created.<\/p>\n
“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,” said Ross Perot Jr., Chairman of Hillwood and The Perot Companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carrier is building a massive manufacturing hub to keep up with surging tech demand.
