General Electric (NYSE: GE) To Build Technology Center, Bring 1100 Jobs to MI

General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) said Friday that it will build The Advanced Manufacturing and Software Technology Center in Michigan and it will eventually employ about 1,200 workers.

 

The $100 million manufacturing technology center will include a GE research and development facility with scientists and engineers who will develop manufacturing technologies for GE's renewable energy, aircraft engine, gas turbine and other products.

 

The center, which is expected to open later this year in Van Buren Township, MI., also will develop software, networking and other services, according to the Associated Press.

 

GE says it will build a 100,000-square-foot facility to house the manufacturing center. The state of Michigan is providing $74 million in incentives over the next 12 years to support the center, which is expected to yield $146 million in income taxes and other revenue over the same period, Gov. Jennifer Granholm said.

 

The staff at the Michigan facility will join 2,800 employees at GE's four other research facilities in Munich, Shanghai, Niskayuna, N.Y. and Bangalore, India.
