GE’s locomotive engine plant in Grove City is non-union and over the last two years has undergone $72 million in expansions and upgrades. The company bought the former Reynolds packaging plant in Pine Township which will handle engine remanufacturing. Both the expansion and upgrades will continue through 2014.
Since the expansion began, GE has hired about 100 workers for the Grove City operation. When the expansion is completed, the company’s local employment is expected to be nearly 1,000. The company is the largest manufacturer in Mercer County.
