GE Appliances has been recognized with the National Metalworking Reshoring Award, honoring the company’s leadership in revitalizing U.S. manufacturing and strengthening supply chains.

The recognition comes on the heels of a $3 billion investment announced in August—a five-year plan to expand domestic production across the company’s 11 U.S. plants and microfactories. Since 2016, GE Appliances has committed $6.5 billion to American manufacturing, fueling product innovation, modernizing facilities, and growing supplier networks.

“This award is proof that when you invest in American workers and factories, you strengthen supply chains and fuel the resurgence of U.S. manufacturing,” said Bill Good, Vice President of Supply Chain. “It’s a testament to our 15,500 employees nationwide who are showing the world that American manufacturing has a bold future.”

Building Closer to Home

GE Appliances leads the appliance industry in American manufacturing investments. Guided by its “Zero Distance” strategy—building closer to the customers and consumers it serves—the company contributes more than $30 billion annually to the U.S. economy and supports over 113,000 American jobs across operations, suppliers, and logistics.

“GE Appliances’ long-time commitment to reshoring shows how local production strengthens competitiveness, secures supply chains, and uplifts communities,” said Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative®.

Expanding Across the U.S.

Beyond Kentucky, the company’s latest $3 billion, five-year investment accelerates domestic production across multiple states. Highlights include: 

• Georgia – Relocating gas-range production from Mexico to LaFayette

• Alabama – Moving six refrigerator models from China to Decatur

• South Carolina – Doubling water-heater production by bringing electric and hybrid units back from overseas

• Tennessee – Expanding air-conditioning manufacturing with new 2-ton Vertical Zoneline® models

This award underscores GE Appliances’ role as a leader in American manufacturing and its commitment to building a stronger future—right here at home.
