GE Energy Opens New Facility In Shanghai

The environmental services business of Atlanta-based GE Energy has established a new facility in Shanghai in order to better serve its customers in the area. The facility, which will consolidate several locations already in operation, consists of 7,000 square meters of laboratories, office space and production facilities.

Industrial air filtration products, and waterproof breathable membranes for performance fabric and microfiltration applications will be produced. Production began in October 2007 and will increase in three phases through October 2008.

“China is an important growth region for our environmental services business and inaugurating this new manufacturing facility in Shanghai will give us the opportunity to further expand our footprint in the region,” said Daniel Heintzelman, president of GE Energy’s environmental services business. “Most importantly, this new world-class production facility will enable us to improve customer excellence while delivering products to our customers.”
