From its humble beginnings in 1892, General Electric (GE) has transformed into a colossal entity, diversifying into sectors like aviation, healthcare, power, and venture capital, showcasing its monumental growth and versatile influence.

GE’s appeal in the U.S. stems largely from its proud ‘Made in America’ branding, though it’s noteworthy that GE’s appliance division was sold to China’s Haier in 2016 for a then unprecedented $5.4 billion, marking a significant shift.
