GE Appliances announced on Wednesday that six refrigerator models will now be manufactured at its Decatur plant, rather than in China.
According to a news release from the company, GE Appliances' top-freezer refrigerator plant in Decatur will insource six 22 cu. ft. models to better support customer demand. Production is expected to ramp up quickly by the end of August 2025.
The company will expand its air conditioning and water heating portfolio, increase production output across all product lines, and further modernize its 11 U.S. manufacturing plants with new automation and capital equipment. The first phase of investments will begin at GE Appliances plants in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina.
“We are defining the future of manufacturing at GE Appliances by investing in our plants, people, and communities,” said Kevin Nolan, president and CEO of GE Appliances. “No other appliance company over the last decade has invested more in U.S. manufacturing than we have, and our $3 billion, five-year plan shows that our commitment to U.S. manufacturing will continue into the future.”
