LOUISVILLE, KY—GE Appliances (GEA), a Haier company, announced the startup of a new $80 million dishwasher manufacturing line at its supersite here. The new line has a completely redesigned extra-large capacity dishwasher platform.

This line, together with production increases in other product categories, will add more than 280 new jobs at Appliance Park as GEA increases output to meet demand. This investment is the second dishwasher investment in 2020 and follows the announcement in June of $19 million to expand the facility.
