Kinston Factory Expansion Reaches Key Milestones
Just a few months ago, we celebrated the groundbreaking of our Kinston dishwasher expansion, a major investment that will support stainless-steel tub production and strengthen our operations in eastern North Carolina. Today, that vision is quickly becoming a reality, with the expansion taking shape.
Since construction began this spring, crews have made significant progress, including completing the foundation, erecting the structural steel, enclosing the building, installing the roof and advancing interior work. At the same time, our Kinston team continues to grow, with new talent joining key operations and supply chain roles to support the facility's future success.
The momentum is exciting, and the progress is visible with every passing week. We look forward to the opportunities this expansion will create for our employees, our customers and the Kinston community for years to come.

Welcoming Waqas Sherwani to Electrolux Group
We were excited to welcome Waqas Sherwani, Chief Operations Officer for North America, to our Electrolux Group Kinston dishwasher factory. Since joining Electrolux Group in August, Waqas has been visiting operations across the region to learn more about our business, connect with employees and better understand what drives success across our manufacturing network.
During his visit to Kinston, Waqas toured the facility and met with employees to learn more about the team and gain insight into the factory’s strong focus on safety, quality and continuous improvement.
The visit reflects Electrolux Group's commitment to staying connected to the people and communities that support our business. We look forward to Waqas' leadership as we continue investing in our employees, operations and the future of manufacturing in Kinston.
Employees Help Keep Kinston Neighbors Cool
This summer, employees at our Kinston dishwasher factory partnered with Lenoir-Greene United Way and local community organizations to donate nearly 200 Frigidaire room air conditioners to residents in need across Lenoir
and Greene counties. The units helped elderly residents, families with young children and individuals with heat-sensitive medical conditions stay safe and comfortable during the hottest months of the year.
The donation was more than a community project for many employees. As Kinston Plant Manager Jeff Britt shared, many team members were helping neighbors in the communities where they live and work. Together, employees distributed nearly $50,000 worth of air conditioners to families who needed them most.
Electrolux Group has proudly called Kinston home for more than 35 years. Through partnerships like this, the company remains committed to supporting the communities where its employees live, work and make a difference every day.
