GE GE today announced plans to invest $30 million and add more than 150 jobs,
expanding capacity of GE Lighting's domestic manufacturing operations to meet
growing consumer demand for GE Energy-Efficient Soft White light bulbs. This
announcement is part of GE's continued investment in advanced manufacturing
excellence, pairing the best people with the best technologies. The
announcement coincides with a new agreement between Walmart WMT and GE, as part of
Walmart's $50 billion domestic manufacturing commitment to bring more
American-made products to consumers. This agreement will put U.S.-made GE
Energy-Efficient Soft White light bulbs on the shelves of 3,400 Walmart Stores
by summer 2014.
Recruitment and hiring for the new manufacturing positions will occur over the
coming months at three GE plants in Bucyrus and Circleville, Ohio, and
Mattoon, Illinois. These new positions add to the more than 700 employees
currently at work across the three plants.
