INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - An Indianapolis manufacturing facility is moving operations to Mexico, impacting 1,400 jobs.
Carrier, currently located on West Morris Street, will be moving operations to Monterrey, Mexico beginning in 2017. The move is expected to be complete in 2019.
A release by the company said there would be no immediate impact on jobs.
The company says the proposal to move is subject to "discussions with local union representatives."
"This decision is difficult and we recognize the impact on employees, their families and the community. We are committed to ensuring that our employees are treated respectfully and to working closely with their representatives throughout this transition," said Chris Nelson, President of HVAC Systems and Services North America.

I’d expect Trump to show up there and promise that he’ll make them move it back. Except Indiana does not vote until June 3. Will be all over but the shouting by then.
Yeah we were able to vote Hillary for OpChaos 2008, but that’s been the only consequential primary vote I’ve made in a long time.
Actually, according to the Reciprocal Tariff Act of 1934, the President has a large amount of power in dealing with tariffs....

Carrier huh?
2000 more American jobs to Mexico?
for a minute i thought it was about an AirCraft Carrier!
It's why Trump will tax the sh*t out of these folks on every foreign make product they ship back.
They next company will think hard about shipping 2k more American jobs to Mexico.
“Dang it! I thought you meant an aircraft carrier. As if Bathhouse would use it.”
Not to worry. If Trump gets in, it’ll be a carrier and the 1st Marine Division.
Carrier huh?
2000 more American jobs to Mexico?
No, it’s HVAC products.
I was wondering if it was the Gerald Ford or the Ronald
Reagan?
We need a new furnace, coil and AC. It won’t be Carrier.
Some folks never heard of Carrier Corp.
2000 more American jobs to Mexico.
Is Indiana an R-T-W state?
Maybe interdiction flights along the demilitarized zone?
I also had a career in manufacturing. I cringe as I hear this news. I was somewhat fortunate, working in the defense industry; it took longer to decimate but a ton of what we used to make and were the FIRST to make, have been outsourced. There are still pockets of manufacturing, really good manufacturing, in many parts of the country. As my company stopped building much of what we used to, we had/have a decent supply chain of smaller manufacturers in this country. That base is critical but it needs to grow exponentially.
Yes, but only in the area of REDUCING tariifs - not in raising them.
"The Act served as an institutional reform intended to authorize the president to negotiate with foreign nations to reduce tariffs in return for reciprocal reductions in tariffs in the United States."
"Another key feature of the RTAA was the fact that if Congress wanted to repeal a tariff reduction, it would take a two-thirds supermajority."
And even if the president negotiated a change in tariffs, it had to be approved by Congress - a reduction in tariffs only required a majority vote, but an increase required a 2/3 majority.
You’re here to discredit these AH’s moving 2,000 American jobs to Mexico. You can stop with the aircraft carrier BS.
Very sad. Willis Carrier was one of the great entrepreneur magnates of our rise to world leadership. He invented A/C when he was not long out of engineering school. It was an invention that dramatically changed the world.
When Obama lifts the border, they’ll be American jobs.
Now now, there are reasons companies move south and it’s
because of onerous taxation and regulation. Stop that
and jobs will be created right here.
Obama slapped a 30% tariff on imported zipper-head made tires in 2009. I do not recall congress having any say one way or the other.
There are so many ways around that.
Just one. The day Trump is elected, due to national security issues, we might be required to search every single vehicle/truck crossing into the U.S. I imagine it would back up traffic from from our southern points of entry to Mexico City. But national security is top priority.
