GE reinforces its investments in France in the energies of the future
• CEO Jeff Immelt met with the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron
• Two major projects around the energies of the future have been announced:
O The opening of a center of excellence in additive manufacturing in the Belfort region
O New energy highway investments in Saint-Priest and Massy
• GE confirms that the Group will respect its commitments to job creation in France
Paris, June 16, 2017 - Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO of General Electric (GE) met today with the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, at the Palais de l'Elysée. During this meeting, Mr. Immelt announced the launch of two initiatives that will contribute to the development of future energies and the strengthening of GE's industrial activities in France.
Jeff Immelt said: "France is at the forefront of the development of the energies of the future. Global demand for reliable, affordable and sustainable energy continues to grow and France has the talent, infrastructure and strong political will to support the development of the sector. GE is very well established in France in the fields of renewable energies, thermal energies, solutions for electrical networks and digital. We believe in the attractiveness of France and will continue to invest in it. "
At this meeting, Jeff Immelt and the President of the Republic discussed a new investment project to create GE's first center of excellence in the field of additive manufacturing. This project involves the installation of 3D printers (up to 90 machines) on a GE Power site in the Belfort area. This plant, which will be initially dedicated to the production of gas turbine components, will open its doors at the end of 2018.
In the area of ??power grids, GE has also announced the expansion of the global center of excellence for project execution at its Saint-Priest site, which plays a key role in the deployment of energy highways worldwide. In addition, new investments will be made in high-voltage dc links with the opening of a R & D center in Massy. They will complement those already engaged by GE in the Supergrid Institute, a collaborative research platform located in Villeurbanne.
Jeff Immelt also made the point with the President of the Republic on the new site of production of blades of wind turbines of Cherbourg, under construction. The recruitment phase was advanced in early 2018, with an opening of the site scheduled for the second half of 2018. This plant, dedicated to the French and world markets of wind, will produce the technologically advanced blades and the longest ever built. Wind power is one of the fastest growing industrial sectors in the energy sector.
In this interview, Jeff Immelt reaffirmed GE's commitment to create 1000 net jobs in France by the end of 2018.

A portion of the text translated:
To maintain this technological edge while remaining attentive to the expectations of its customers, the Belfort team does not only rely on its experience, it invests.
In his human resources first. "We have a positive hiring dynamics on the site, whether in production or in engineering," says Catherine Létang, GE Power's human resources manager in Belfort. In production, we have the needs of specialized and technical workers, like factory workers. More and more, we are also interested in profiles capable of understanding the industrial stakes and absorbing the digital innovations at work, to transform our site into a concept called Brillant Factory.
The site also hosts students as part of leadership programs. Reserved for Master 2 or engineering school students with high learning and mobility potential, these programs make it possible to discover, at an accelerated rate, several positions and different sectors of activity in several countries. "This allows them to be trained much faster than average so that they can quickly gain access to senior positions. They are truly the talents of tomorrow, "says Catherine Létang.
In the industrial tool, then. This is why the site will grow at the end of the year. "Two extensions are in progress and mainly concern the gas business. The first is to provide us with advanced production facilities to produce next-generation gas turbines with record performance. The second extension will guarantee the assembly of more turbines, machines of 400 tons and more requiring optimized space, "continues François Cavan.
