GE plans to invest over $450 million to upgrade US manufacturing in 2023

General Electric will invest $450 million in manufacturing. It will allocate $335 million of that to aerospace and $117 million to healthcare ahead of a planned divesture.

General Electric said on Thursday it plans to invest more than $450 million in its existing manufacturing facilities in the United States this year and hire more than 1,700 employees, in a bid to bolster its aerospace and energy businesses.

The move comes as the Boston-based conglomerate is wrestling with inflationary and supply-chain pressures, and is adjusting its prices to offset higher costs.

The company, which operates 58 facilities in the U.S., said it will invest in cutting-edge equipment, facility upgrades, other improvements. The improvements are being made as GE is looking for ways to improve costs and inventory, it added.

GE, which completed the spin-off of its healthcare unit in January, has plans to spin off its energy businesses, including renewables, into a separate company next year.
