Whirlpool Corporation has been named one of Fortune’s "World’s Most Admired Companies" for the sixteenth year in a row, following evaluations by thousands of executives, directors and analysts in partnership with Korn Ferry. The recognition reflects peer assessments of Whirlpool’s leadership, innovation and long-term investment value, as well as its commitment to the communities where it operates. In 2024, Whirlpool generated approximately $17 billion in annual sales—nearly 90% of which came from the Americas—employing 44,000 people across 40 manufacturing plants and research centers worldwide. Chairman and CEO Marc Bitzer credited the award to the dedication and resilience of Whirlpool’s global workforce as it continues to drive meaningful appliance innovation under brands such as Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag and Amana.
