GE Appliances Plans $200 Million-Plus Investment, 400 New Jobs in Louisville

  During a news conference in Louisville, Gov. Matt Bevin joined elected officials and Kevin Nolan, president and chief executive officer of GE Appliances, a Haier company, to announce the appliance manufacturer will create 400 new jobs with a $200 million-plus investment in its laundry and dishwasher production facilities.

GE Appliances has long been an exemplary corporate partner for Louisville and the commonwealth, Gov. Bevin said.

GE Appliances will expand its laundry manufacturing facilities, adding new topload washer and dryer platforms and increasing production capacity for existing models by about 20 percent.

Appliance Park in Louisville is GE Appliances largest manufacturing facility, with more than 5 million square feet for production of washers, dryers, dishwashers and bottom-freezer refrigerators.

Louisville prides itself on its long-standing tradition of manufacturing excellence, and GE Appliances latest expansion underscores that our city remains a global leader in manufacturing, said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer.

Our city applauds GE Appliances on this milestone, and we look forward to their continued commitment to manufacturing the best home appliances in America.

Our community welcomes this $200 million-plus investment by GE Appliances in its laundry and dishwasher production facilities, Sen. Angel said.
