Timeline
Key moments in the GEIS North America story.
The timeline provides the longer view of how GEIS North America moved from GE heritage into its current global operating model.
1879
"I find out what the world needs... then I proceed to invent it." In 1879 Thomas Edison devised THE very first CIRCUIT BREAKER. The foundation of electrical protection technology.
2000
GE Industrial System invested its first manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China, for its medium and low voltage circuit breakers, and switchgear equipment, cast coil dry type transformers. Which is the center point of today's GEIS North America technology platform.
2000-2008
Wining China's most significant projects, including China's first 1GW coal fire generation units, ConocoPhillips' Bohai Bay offshore platform, Intel, Shanghai General Motors's facilities cross China, Beijing US Embassy, major Beijing Olympic venues, ...
2009
A greenfield factory was built to support production of Record Plus MCCBs, RCBO and mass production of worlds' 1st compact MCB "unibis". The completed range of low voltage components significantly improve the service capability to customers in Asia Pacific region
December 2019
GEIS was established as an independent brand for global markets following the separation of the business. From that point forward, the brand was positioned around a clearer international customer base and supply model.
