GE Expands Home Appliance Production in Kentucky With $ 200 Million Investment

GE Appliances, owned by Haier, is growing and hopes to bring Louisville with it. The company announced a major expansion of its Appliance fleet located in Kentucky on Monday morning. GE is investing $ 200 million to expand the park and create 400 new jobs.

GE Appliances will expand its laundry and dishwasher production facilities. The company will build a brand new kiln manufacturing facility while increasing its washer production capacity.

In total, GE plans to increase its laundry manufacturing capacity by approximately 20%. The GE dishwasher installation is expected to increase further, as the investment is expected to increase dishwasher production by 35%.

The announcements come the same morning since the separate company General Electric (the party not owned by Haier) ousts its CEO after 14 months. GE 's expansion will take place this year and next year, after an expansion of $ 275 million, including 650 jobs early in the year.
