GE Appliances, owned by Chinese multinational home appliance and consumer electronics manufacturer Haier Group Corp., <a href="https://pressroom.geappliances.com/news/ripple-effect-ge-appliances-awards-more-than-150-million-in-contracts-to-u-s-suppliers-for-new-laundry-manufacturing-plant">announced</a> on Nov. 20 that it has awarded more than $150 million in new contracts to U.S.-based suppliers across 10 states.

The investment in domestic suppliers of steel, resins, parts, and components will back the company’s new washer and dryer manufacturing plant in Louisville, Kentucky.

The plant will bring the manufacturer’s production back to the United States from China, GE Appliances <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/ge-appliances-to-invest-500-million-to-reshore-washer-dryer-production-in-kentucky-5878827">said</a> in June.

“Buying these parts and components from U.S.-based suppliers further expands GE Appliances’ growing supply chain of more than 6,500 U.S. suppliers, creating opportunities for more American businesses and accelerating American manufacturing,” the company said in a statement on Thursday.

The new supplier contracts come on top of the $490 million investment GE Appliances announced earlier this year and are part of its five-year $3 billion "<a href="https://geappliancesco.com/builtforamerica">Built for America"</a> plan to strengthen U.S. manufacturing.

By bringing some production back to the United States, the company aims to create more than 1,000 high-quality jobs nationwide, it said in a statement.

“When we invest in U.S. manufacturing and our people, it drives growth far beyond our own walls,” said Lee Lagomarcino, vice president of clothes care at GE Appliances. “These new supplier contracts represent what ‘Built for America’ is all about – investing in U.S. manufacturing, creating more American jobs, and building opportunity that multiplies.”

The reshoring and expanded investment announcements come as President Donald Trump seeks to attract factories back to the United States with a baseline 10 percent tariff on most imports, along with steeper duties on some countries, including China.

Following his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea last month, Trump on Nov. 4 <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/us-reduces-fentanyl-tariff-on-china-to-10-percent-after-trump-xi-talks-5940382">reduced</a> the U.S. fentanyl-related tariff on Chinese goods from 20 percent to 10 percent.

In a separate <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/11/modifying-reciprocal-tariff-rates-consistent-with-the-economic-and-trade-arrangement-between-the-united-states-and-the-peoples-republic-of-china/">executive order</a> also issued on Nov. 4, Trump formalized another <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/11/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-strikes-deal-on-economic-and-trade-relations-with-china/">agreement</a> after meeting Xi, lowering the reciprocal U.S. tariff on China from <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/7-takeaways-from-trumps-reciprocal-tariff-roll-out-5835972">34 percent</a> to 20 percent.

In August, GE Appliances <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/business/ge-appliances-shifts-more-production-from-china-mexico-back-to-us-as-part-of-3-billion-investment-5900686">said</a> it would move production of refrigerators, gas ranges, and water heaters to U.S. plants from locations in foreign countries, including Mexico and China.
<h2>US Suppliers</h2>
The supplier contracts span Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Alabama, and California.

The new contracts cover $40 million in Kentucky, $35 million in Tennessee, $14 million in Indiana, $13 million in Ohio, and more than $20 million in Illinois, plus $34 million spread across Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Alabama, and California.

The company said it also maintains ongoing spending with local suppliers and partners with hundreds of businesses in each major state.

“GE Appliances uses more than half a million feet of American steel per day in its U.S. plants,” it said in a statement. “More than 95 percent of the steel and aluminum used in GE Appliances’ 11 plants is purchased from U.S. suppliers.”

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said that GE Appliances stands behind the commonwealth and its workforce, and that the money awarded to local suppliers would create a "ripple effect" that benefits the state.

He added that Kentucky was proud to be the company’s home and expressed his gratitude to GE Appliances CEO Kevin Nolan for continuing to invest in the United States.

“Together, we will ensure U.S. manufacturing remains strong with Kentucky and GE Appliances leading the way,” Beshear said.

Production of new washers and washer-dryers at the Appliance Park plant in Louisville, Kentucky, is set to begin in early 2027.
