    GE no longer makes appliances. It’s a licensed out name now.

    I figure their star finally fell when they stopped making locomotives. What kind of giant industrial conglomerate does that?! EveN Hitachi, a brand mostly known for marital aids, makes locomotives!

      GE, the conglomerate, no longer exists. They sold off most of the divisions and spun off the three remaining into their own business. GE Aerospace is the “corporate successor” but as of 2024, the old General Electric is no more.
