On Wednesday, Shares of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), lost -0.17% to $29.54.

Further solidifying its commitment to expanding and enhancing its electrical distribution equipment capabilities and offerings, GE’s Industrial Solutions business (GE) recently declared it is investing $7.4 million in its West Burlington, Iowa, manufacturing facility and creating 120 new jobs. The investment will be used to expand GE’s medium-voltage product development and production in North America. The declaration was made recently at an on-site ceremony for GE employees and state and local government officials.

Once the new ANSI/IEEE medium-voltage switchgear production line is added, GE’s West Burlington facility will manufacture a full range of medium-voltage solutions counting arc-resistant, air-insulated switchgear for new installations and retrofit applications. Designed with the operator in mind, these fully tested, medium-voltage products have been developed with fewer parts to simplify installation and upkeep. GE will use advanced manufacturing processes to improve product quality and durability, and to ensure its products are made with speed and agility, which will shorten customer lead times.

“Iowa is proud to welcome GE’s expansion and investment in West Burlington,” said Iowa Governor Terry Branstad. “The creation of 120 new jobs and the investment of over $7 million are testaments to the customer demand for the products you make. We are honored to have you in Iowa.”
