GE has been operating in South Africa since 1898. Today, GE celebrates 120 years in the African market, with South Africa being the first overseas office outside the USA which opened in Johannesburg in that year and currently employs ~+/-600 people in businesses spanning across key sectors including power, aviation and healthcare.

GE South Africa is involved in the construction and management of the Medupi and Kusile Power stations and donated and fully kitted the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital with healthcare equipment.

We are a responsible corporate citizen with a strong commitment to contributing to South Africa’s sustainable development especially in skills and small medium enterprise development. Our commitment to Localisation focuses on expanding local supplier’s capabilities through skills development services. Post program, the overall goal is to incorporate these suppliers into the GE supply chain.
