GE Appliances to add 300 jobs in Georgia

Governor Brian Kemp has announced that 300 new jobs are coming to Georgia.

According to Kemp, GE Appliances will be expanding its operations in Georgia through three significant investment and job growth initiatives in the state.

The initiatives include $43 million invested in the company’s Roper Corporation facility in Walker County, creating 100 new jobs; a $32 million investment to build a new Southern Logistics Center that will create 100 new jobs in Murray County; and a new $55 million smart warehouse, creating 100 new jobs in Jackson County.

Kemp says these new jobs in Jackson, Murray, and Walker counties will provide greater opportunity for hardworking Georgians.

Chief Executive Officer for GE Appliances Kevin Nolan says Georgia has been a longtime home for GE Appliances.

Nolan says, “Our goal continues to be to become the leading major appliance business in the U.S. These investments and job expansions will help us do just that.”

In Jackson County, the new $55 million GE Appliances Southeast Region Appliance Distribution Center represents cutting-edge distribution technology.

Blending digital intelligence with unparalleled agility, the Center will create 100 high-quality new jobs and is a core pillar of GE Appliances’ strategy to strengthen its national leadership position in distribution.

U.S. Representative Doug Collins says the announcement reflects GE Appliances continued commitment to creating well-paying jobs throughout rural communities in Georgia.

He says, “Their $55 million investment in the City of Commerce will create 100 new jobs, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome GE Appliances to Jackson County.”
