We value teamwork, innovation, reliability, speed and, above all, a passion to help people. Each of our appliances is designed purposefully with our consumers in mind. We make refrigerators, freezers, cooking products, dishwashers, washers, dryers, air conditioners, water filtration systems and water heaters.

We invest in the experience that homeowners have with our products. When people buy from us, they don't just get an appliance, they become a member of our family, a family that is there for one another for the life of the product.

GLOBAL INNOVATION.
LOCAL EXPERTISE.

Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, GE Appliances also operates manufacturing facilities in Decatur, Alabama and has wholly-owned subsidiaries in LaFayette, Georgia, and Selmer, Tennessee.

In 2016, Haier Group acquired GE Appliances. Being a part of this large global organization provides GE Appliances with additional resources to continue to innovate and sell our products internationally.

GE Appliances includes wholly-owned subsidiary FirstBuild, a global co-creation community and state-of-the-art microfactory located in Louisville, Kentucky. FirstBuild's open innovation platform ensures that our best ideas and new products for today's modern home reach consumers faster.

OUR FOCUS ON INNOVATION

GE Appliances has R&D centers in the U.S., China, Korea and India and also has created a new model for the manufacturing industry with FirstBuild, a global online co-creation community and microfactory in Louisville, Kentucky, that harnesses the brainpower of the maker movement to change the way home appliances are conceived, designed and manufactured.
