History and Development

Following a merger that formed General Electric, the company expanded into power systems, aviation, and medical technology throughout the 20th century.

GE became one of the first companies listed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and grew into a diversified industrial conglomerate.

In recent years, GE completed a corporate restructuring, separating major business units into independent entities to improve strategic focus and capital allocation.
