Electrolux is transitioning its Anderson plant from refrigerator production to laundry equipment manufacturing. This significant change follows a North American partnership with Midea, a Chinese appliance giant. Over 1,200 workers were laid off as part of this operational overhaul. The company plans to retool the facility, with production expected to resume in early 2027. Many displaced workers are finding new employment opportunities in the local manufacturing sector.
