US EditionGE Appliances moves washing machine production from China to Kentucky with $490 million investment
- On Thursday, GE Appliances announced a $490 million investment to move production of more than 15 front-load washing machine models from China to its Louisville, Kentucky manufacturing complex.
- The reshoring follows several years of investments and reflects longstanding plans influenced but not driven solely by recent tariff uncertainties and trade policies.
- The project will create 800 new full-time jobs, expand the production area to equal 33 football fields, and implement advanced automation including robotics and autonomous mobile robots.
- CEO Kevin Nolan stated the move aligns with GE Appliances’ 'zero-distance' business strategy to manufacture close to customers, while emphasizing economic sense and opportunity for employee upskilling despite national labor shortages.
- This investment strengthens Kentucky's position as GE Appliances' global headquarters and largest U.S. manufacturer of washing machines, signaling continued reshoring and boosting local economic growth amid ongoing trade disputes.
