BENTON HARBOR – As a manufacturer with a reputation for skating the cutting edge of technology, Whirlpool Corp. leverages relationships with organizations and researchers globally to uncover emerging technology capable of transforming its operations.

Whirlpool is the only West Michigan-based corporate partner for the Industry 4.0 accelerator program, which is powered by Troy-based resource center Automation Alley, Jackson-based manufacturing technology accelerator Lean Rocket Lab, and Lawrence Technological University’s Centrepolis Accelerator.
