History of GE

 

In 1950, General Electric chose the Louisville area as the home of its major appliance division. The decision to build a factory complex for appliance production was initiated by a larger company wide strategy handed down by GE Company president, Ralph Cordiner.

Groundbreaking for Appliance Park officially began in 1951. In January of 1953, production began. The first dryers were manufactured in Building 1 while the first dishwashers were produced in Building 3. In March of the same year, the first shipment of ranges left Building 2, while the first washers were removed from the Building 1 assembly line. In April, disposal production began in Building 3.

GE's long tradition of innovation and technology investment began on November 13, 1953. The day had arrived, marking the first installation of an electronic computer at a US business. This established the age of business data processing. Springing forward to 2007, GE Appliances is a multi-billion-dollar global business unit that continues the tradition of technological innovation across the business.

Still today, GE Appliances continues to build upon its reputation for manufacturing the highest quality and most reliable products. Percy's carries GE Refrigerators, GE Dishwashers, GE Cooktops, GE Washers, GE Dryers, GE Wine Storage, GE Ranges, GE Over the Range Microwaves, GE Undercounter Refrigeration, GE Wall Ovens, GE Accessories.
