Carrier Global will spend more than $600 million over the next three years on a new advanced manufacturing and engineering center in Fort Worth, Texas. The facility, at the AllianceTexas development, will cover more than 1 million square feet, create 1,500 jobs and is expected to begin operations in 2027, the company said.
The plant will expand United States production capacity for advanced thermal management systems, including air-cooled and water-cooled commercial chillers used in data centers, healthcare, education and industrial markets. Carrier said the investment supports record backlog levels in its commercial HVAC business. Manufacturing at the site will include structural fabrication, heat exchanger production, refrigeration circuit integration and brazing, alongside engineering laboratories and workforce development programmes.
The city of Fort Worth approved $10.9 million in tax abatement incentives over seven years under the Texas Enterprise Zone Program, tied to capital investment and hiring targets, and the project may also qualify for a state enterprise grant worth up to $2.5 million. Under the commitments discussed with the city in August, Carrier undertook to invest at least $433.8 million by the end of 2028 and to create at least 495 full-time jobs at an average salary of at least $75,000 by the end of 2029; the company says its final investment and job totals are higher than those minimums.
“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 and chief executive David Gitlin. The Fort Worth project sits inside a $1 billion commitment Carrier announced last year to expand existing United States facilities and build new capacity for heat pump components and battery assemblies. A Fort Worth official told the city council the campus is the largest single facility investment Carrier has ever made.
