GE Power opens $400 million advanced manufacturing facility in South Carolina

GE has opened the new Advanced Manufacturing Works (AMW) in Greenville, S.C. The firm has invested $73 million in the facility to date and will invest another $327 million across the campus over the next several years. The facility’s opening is creating at least 80 engineering and manufacturing jobs.

The 125,000-sq.-ft. facility will serve as an incubator for the development of advanced manufacturing processes and rapid prototyping of new parts for GE’s energy businesses: Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, and Energy Connections.

The company started in Greenville more than 40 years ago with a 340,000-sq.-ft. site. With this AMW addition, the site has close to 1.7 million sq. ft. of factories, offices, and laboratories.
