GE Appliances Doubles Down in Kentucky | Lexington News

GE Appliances is pouring over $500 million into expanding laundry machine production in Kentucky, bringing dryer manufacturing back from Mexico and adding new equipment for washers and dryers—doubling down on U.S. manufacturing and locking in 4,700 jobs. This follows prior investments totaling nearly $3.5 billion to bring washing machines back from China and build an in-house water filter operation. CEO Kevin Nolan highlights the strategic advantage of integrating laundry and dishwasher production under one roof, boosting innovation and efficiency. While refrigerator production will shift to Alabama and Tennessee next year, no layoffs are planned—employees will stay on payroll during the transition. The move cements Appliance Park as America’s largest appliance manufacturing hub, proving that pro-business and pro-union efforts can power economic growth and community resilience.
