The company said its Yate, UK, facility would now focus on
manufacturing for UK consumers solely, and the production of
dryers for non-UK consumer needs would be concentrated in Lodz,
Poland.
Whirlpool said it expects to incur about $88 million in costs
related to the restructuring.
The company previously said it expects restructuring charges of
up to $200 million for 2016.
