ISTANBUL (Reuters) - U.S. home appliances maker Whirlpool will continue operations at its factories in Turkey’s western Manisa province, it said in a statement to Reuters on Tuesday, although it is exiting the domestic sales business in the country.

Whirlpool WHR.N said last week in a conference call that it is exiting a number of loss making businesses in Europe, Middle East and Africa, including domestic sales operations in Turkey.
