Greenville, South Carolina
A technology team performs a test by taking a direct
view from inside an F-Class turbine. An F-Class
turbine (main photo) is hoisted to a test platform;
it will soon join more than 6,000 GE gas turbines
installed worldwide.
Powering up production.
Energy Infrastructure
Some of GE Energy Infrastructure’s biggest global growth drivers are built right here
at home. GE’s Greenville, South Carolina site is the largest gas turbine manufacturing
plant in the world, producing products for domestic and global export. Built in 1968,
the site originally housed 250 employees and focused on building the Frame 7 gas turbine.
Today, the site manufactures a diverse range of energy and infrastructure products,
and has grown into an integrated campus spanning 413 acres with over 3,000 employees,
two engineering centers, a Gas Turbine Center of Excellence, and a Repair Development
Center. GE Energy’s innovative solutions, such as fuel flexibility for turbines, have been critical
in winning major deals, including the $3 billion agreement signed between GE Energy
and the government of Iraq, the largest single win in the history of GE Energy.
