Set in the beautiful and historic Villa Ponti in Varese, Italy, Whirlpool Corporation hosted our ANNUAL GLOBAL SUPPLIER CONFERENCE on May 16, 2019.
This conference brought together our top suppliers from across the globe and Whirlpool’s Global leadership, including Marc Bitzer, CEO & Chairman, Whirlpool Corporation; Gilles Morel, President, EMEA Region and Executive VP; and Liz Door, Sr. Vice President, Global Strategic Sourcing, among many others!
