The Maytag Corporation is an American home and commercial appliance brand owned by Whirlpool Corporation.

Does the Maytag company still exist?

Not anymore. Last year, rival Whirlpool bought the company. It will keep the Maytag brand, but today it closed the Iowa factory. The jobs will be headed to a nonunion plant in Ohio.

Why did Maytag go out of business?

The loss of Maytag can be attributed to the Neptune, as stated above, but also going from the Dependable Care washers, to the Amana based washers. The DC’s were pretty much trouble free, easy to service,etc. Maytag assimilated the Magic Chef Company and began selling rebadged Maytag refrigerators in 1988.
