From jet engines to power generation, from financial services to plastics, and from medical imaging to news and information, GE people worldwide are dedicated to turning imaginative ideas into leading products and services.
In 2002, GE created one of its newest businesses, Consumer Products, by combining two of its oldest, Lighting and Appliances. With nearly two centuries of brand leadership and product innovation between them, the combined $8.5 billion enterprise is accelerating its industry leadership by becoming more efficient and competitive across all product lines.
Integration savings projected to total nearly $50 million are being reinvested in technology development. Funding for new products is increasing by nearly 25% across both operations, with 100 product launches for 2003. They include speed-cooking ovens, washers that talk to dryers, and energy-efficient lighting products.
The new Consumer Products -- rich with a legacy of product and service innovation, and resonant with the combined strengths of its operations -- faces the future more focused than ever on extending its competitive leadership.
Below are some of the GE products, designed with quality for the consumer, available in the Genesis Show Home.
