GE at a Glance - Our products
GE is powered by great ideas and the people who have them. The Company’s limitless future is seen in this array of innovative, technically advanced products and services developed by its businesses – after extensive interviews with customers – to meet Six Sigma standards of invariable quality and performance. GE’s Global Research Center has a 100-year history of finding ways to turn theoretical discoveries into practical, real-world applications. With this Center taking the lead, GE intends to increase the number of new product introductions in 2002 by 25%. GE Medical Systems’ Discovery™ LS can complete in 30 minutes a diagnosis that would take four to six weeks if done conventionally. GE Power Systems’ new 480-megawatt “H” turbine will be the world’s most energy-efficient combined-cycle electricity generator. The GE90-115B jet engine, the world’s most powerful thrust aircraft engine, has the diameter of a Boeing 737 fuselage. GE Medical Systems’ LOGIQBook™ portable ultrasound units will help bring advanced healthcare to the four corners of the earth. In 2001, Japanese consumers were introduced to the long-term care insurance policies of GE Edison, a GE Financial Assurance company. GE Plastics sold enough Lexan® polycarbonate last year to make nearly 8 billion CDs and DVDs. The GE Profile Arctica™ refrigerator’s energy efficiency and quick-chill / quick-thaw features helped it win two major magazine awards for innovative technology and good value.

GE Transportation Systems’ AC4400 locomotives are wired with microprocessors and software that lower fuel consumption and emissions and transmit location and performance data via satellite for rapid response.
