In June, GE Appliances, a Haier company, announced plans to invest $115 million to expand its refrigerator assembly plant in Decatur, AL. The investment will add 255 new jobs to the plant, bringing the total number of full-time employees there to nearly 1,300.
The investment will boost production capacity by 25 percent to help GE Appliances meet rising demand for its top-freezer refrigerators.
