(ONN) – Appliance manufacturer Whirlpool has announced a $300 million investment in two of its Ohio operations.

The company announced it’s planning to invest $300 million U.S. based manufacturing.

This means production for washers and dryers is expected to ramp up at facilities in Clyde and Marion as early as next year.

The company says the investment is expected to create between 400 and 600 jobs between the two towns.

Whirlpool says the investments were supported by financial assistance from both JobsOhio and tax credits from the state of Ohio.

The Michigan-based appliance maker also has Ohio facilities in Findlay, Ottawa, and Greenville.
