Refrigerators are one of the only appliances found in nearly every type of home, whether it’s an apartment in suburban Atlanta, a high-rise condominium in downtown Chicago, a beach house in Hawaii or a trailer in Texas. The humble refrigerator is also the hardest working household appliance. Day and night, it’s constantly running to keep all types of food and beverages cool, fresh or frozen.
The hardest working refrigerator factory in the world is GE Appliances’ facility in Decatur, AL. The vertically integrated, high-volume assembly plant located on the banks of the Tennessee River specializes in mass-producing top-freezer refrigerators.
