GE Aviation Opens New Brilliant Factory

At geaviation.com - GE Aviation Opens New Brilliant Factory - May 1, 2017

"The new facility in Muskegon is the first of several GE Brilliant Factories being built throughout the world where machine downtime has been reduced to less than 1%," said John Bowman.

The new 35,000-square-foot facility will manufacture parts for the GE90 engine and will perform development work for new programs as needed. The GE90 on the Boeing 777 is the world's most powerful jet engine with about 2,500 engines in service and more than 67 million flight hours.

"This state-of-the-art GE Aviation facility is creating new advanced manufacturing jobs and supporting our local economy," said Senator Stabenow. "It's exciting to see Muskegon County and Norton Shores leading the way in making components for GE's most powerful jet engine."

"GE's brilliant factories combine the newest technologies, from advanced analytics to 3D printing to collaborative robots that work side-by-side with people," added Bowman. "The facility represents an investment in advanced manufacturing -- our workforce is constantly adapting and updating their skills for the jobs of tomorrow."
