GE Home & Business Solutions

GE Home & Business Solutions was a division of General Electric from 2007 to 2014. In 2013 it was renamed GE Appliances & Lighting.

History

On 1 August 2007 GE announced the formation of GE Enterprise Solutions, consisting of the various GE Industrial businesses other than GE Consumer & Industrial, as well as GE Power Quality. Charlene T. Begley was named president and CEO of the division.^[1]

Operations

GE Home & Business Solutions had three primary sub businesses:

• GE Appliances
• GE Lighting
• GE Intelligent Platforms

GE Intelligent Platforms was moved under GE's Energy Management business in 2012, leaving just Appliances and Lighting.

Following the sale of GE Appliances to Electrolux in September 2014,^[2] GE Appliances & Lighting ceased to exist. As of October 1, 2015, this transaction has not closed due to US antitrust action. As of 15 September 2014, GE Lighting has been moved under the 'Growth and Innovation' division of GE.
