APPLIANCES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF AMERICAN FAMILIES

At a time when more than 300 million Americans are sheltering in place, GE Appliances has an essential mission: helping families live in clean and sanitary environments at home.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has explicitly included appliance manufacturing, service and retailing on its “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce” advisory list. This has been further reinforced through numerous state-level guidance and directives, including in Kentucky. â€‹See more here.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE 

As estimates of shelter-in-place directives and social-distancing guidance continue to stretch for months into the future, it is critical that families—and the essential industries that serve them—carefully, calmly and appropriately plan ahead for long-term needs.

GE Appliances is working not just to serve the needs of consumers for the coming days and weeks, but for the months ahead, when even in the normal course of usage, millions of home appliances will need replacement or repair. See more here.

ECONOMIC IMPACT 

While it is important for the long-term success of our workers that our business continues to succeed, GE Appliances is working to fulfill its essential mission of helping families live in clean and sanitary environments at home during this time when more than 300 million Americans are sheltering in place.

We are putting people over profits, lowering our manufacturing efficiency, and incurring significant direct costs to ensure our employees are working in a safe and healthy environment. See more here.
