Case Study: Whirlpool achieves improved global collaboration and optimized product development with PTC PLM

Whirlpool Corporation Creates Customer Value through PLM Journey

Whirlpool, the world’s leading appliance manufacturer, faced the challenge of enabling collaboration across 70,000 colleagues and 66 global facilities while transforming how product information is created, refined and communicated. To address this, PTC PLM deployed its Product Lifecycle Management offerings, leveraging solutions such as Windchill, Creo and the ThingWorx IoT platform to support CAD, PLM, SLM and connected-product use cases.

PTC PLM implemented a unified PLM platform that provides a single source of truth for every product, part and resource, connecting Whirlpool’s enterprise and streamlining product development workflows. As a result, Whirlpool improved cross‑brand collaboration, optimized engineering team performance and accelerated global design processes—enabling better, more consistent products across its 66 facilities and 70,000 employees.
