GE creating up to 200 new jobs

More by this author

General Electric Co. and the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) said recently that GE plans to establish a new center of excellence in Bloomington, creating up to 200 new jobs by 2013.

GE will invest more than $93 million to make necessary infrastructure and equipment improvements at its 1 million-square-foot manufacturing campus in Bloomington. The facility, once scheduled for closure, will become GEā€™s center of excellence for the manufacturing of side-by-side refrigerators.

The companyā€™s decision reverses a strategy pursued for more than 12 years of transferring production from the facility and comes after GE announced it would invest $68 million to redesign its refrigerator line at the Bloomington plant.

ā€œWere so glad that General Electric understands that Indiana is a competitive location to invest and grow its business,ā€ said Mitch Roob, chief executive officer of the IEDC. ā€œThis announcement is welcome news, not only for the new opportunities it will create, but also for the more than 500 workers who will be retained here.ā€

GE currently employs approximately 550 workers at the Bloomington facility.
