GE breaks ground in Ontario for new multimodal “brilliant factory”

GE has broken ground on a multimodal “brilliant factory” in Welland, Ont. The facility is expected to create 220 jobs, with operations commencing in early 2018. Investment in the first phase is $165 million.

The facility initially will manufacture GE Power’s reciprocating gas engines; components for compression, mechanical drive, and power generation; and components for GE Transportation diesel engines. The multimodal design enables future production expansion for other GE global businesses.
