CINCINNATI (AP) — The General Electric Co. plans to build
a new global operations center in the Cincinnati area, adding 1,400
jobs in southwest Ohio.
The announcement was made Thursday by JobsOhio, the state’s private job-creation agency.
Fairfield,
Conn.-based GE describes the center as a "shared services" site that’s
part of the sprawling company’s efforts to streamline operations.
The
company that makes products ranging from aircraft engines to
CT-scanners and also offers financial services employs some 307,000
people globally, with annual revenue of $146 billion. GE’s Aviation
division is based in the northern Cincinnati suburb of Evendale.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/1gce7eC
) reports that three locations in Cincinnati or one of its suburbs are
considered front-runners for the site. GE expects to break ground this
summer and have the site fully running by 2017.
