Home appliance manufacturer GE Appliances plans to expand its operations in Louisville, Kentucky.

The more than $500 million investment at the company’s existing Appliance Park site will include the transformation of Building 5 into a high-output dryer manufacturing operation as well as new equipment and redesigned washer and dryer platforms at Building 1.

“We’re making major investments to continue modernizing Appliance Park and bring more production to our global headquarters in Louisville,” said GE Appliances President and CEO Kevin Nolan. “Bringing our laundry and dishwasher manufacturing together gives us a real competitive advantage, with new synergies across our cleaning products and closer connections between the people who design, engineer and build them. That combination allows us to move faster, accelerate innovation and continue strengthening our industry-leading U.S. manufacturing business.”

GE Appliances manufactures home appliances including refrigerators, freezers, cooking products, dishwashers, washers, dryers, air conditioners and water heaters.

“Kentucky has established itself as an economic leader, and now with the investment and support of GE Appliances and IUE-CWA, Louisville’s Appliance Park is officially the largest home appliance manufacturing site in America,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “This is an incredible announcement. Kentucky is a state where being pro-business and pro-union is a win for everyone. I want to thank Kevin Nolan and the entire GE Appliances team, as well as Carl Kennebrew and all our hardworking union members, for their commitment to Kentucky, our workforce and American manufacturing.”
