Evidence: [1][4]

Text version of the map

  • Amana (Brand): Whirlpool makes and owns Amana kitchen and laundry appliances; Amana heating and cooling products come from Daikin’s business under a trademark license. [1][4]
  • Amana → Whirlpool Corporation (Owner): Whirlpool’s appliance portfolio; Daikin’s HVAC business uses the Amana trademark under license from Maytag or related companies. [1][2][4]
  • Amana → Amana manufacturing (Manufacturer): Whirlpool for kitchen and laundry appliances; Daikin Comfort Technologies and affiliates for Amana heating and cooling equipment. [1][4]
  • Amana → Daikin Comfort Technologies / affiliates — HVAC licensee (Manufacturer): Amana HVAC is a separate licensed product business; no individual model-to-plant allocation is asserted. [4]

Who owns Amana?

Amana is an appliance brand in Whirlpool’s 2025 portfolio alongside Maytag, KitchenAid and JennAir. The 2010 annual report traces its sale to Maytag in 2001 and inclusion in Whirlpool’s 2006 purchase. [1][2]

Amana-branded HVAC needs separate treatment: Daikin’s December 2025 disclosure says the Amana trademark belongs to Maytag or related companies and is used under license. That is a license relationship, not evidence that Whirlpool manufactures those air conditioners. [4]

Who actually makes Amana products?

Whirlpool’s kitchen and laundry appliance business is separate from Amana heating and cooling. Daikin’s dated corporate disclosure names its Amana HVAC products and says its affiliates manufacture heating and cooling systems. [1][4]

Where are Amana products made?

The 2024 investor presentation lists Amana, Iowa and facilities in Ohio, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Mexico in Whirlpool’s manufacturing network. A plant named Amana is not evidence that every Amana appliance is assembled there. [3]

Daikin’s engineering and manufacturing headquarters is at Daikin Texas Technology Park near Houston. That corporate manufacturing location does not establish the plant for every Amana HVAC model. [4]

Is Amana made in China or the USA?

US manufacturing is documented at Whirlpool-group level. Its 2025 report says 80% of major appliances it sells in the US are produced domestically; that percentage covers the company’s portfolio, not Amana alone. China or US origin for an individual Amana model remains Unconfirmed here. [1]

Same factory, different label

Maytag, KitchenAid and JennAir share the corporate owner. This establishes a family of brands, not identical components or the same assembly line for any two appliances. [1]

Daikin, Goodman and Amana HVAC products appear in Daikin’s corporate disclosure. A common provider does not by itself establish identical models or a shared line for every product. [4]
