General Electric Co., which includes GE Oil & Gas, manufacturer of industrial valves and other solutions to the oil and gas industry, has recently confirmed that it will relocate its global headquarters to Boston.
The decision marks the end of a high-stakes competition to attract GE from its long-time campus in suburban Connecticut. GE said it will have roughly 800 people in Boston: 200 from Corporate staff and 600 Digital Industrial product managers, designers and developers split among various divisions. GE said it will move some employees to a temporary space in Boston starting this Summer. The full move from Fairfield will take place in several steps through 2018.
