Whirlpool used to make refrigerators in Evansville, IN. But they closed that plant. My first office mate was from the Amana Colonies, so I was aware Amana had a Maytag plant. It appears Whirlpool has bought Maytag but their plants make products for both the Maytag and Whirlpool brands. I assume they also make refrigerators for the Sear's Kenmore brand because that was true back in Evansville. Like General Motors, a plant makes specific models that support all of the brands.
I remember my office mate saying the plant was the headquarters of Maytag. Judging from a photo of their sign, it is now the headquarters of Whirlpool.
