GE Healthcare announced on Jan. 12 that it would move its headquarters to Chicago effective in early 2016. The headquarters are currently in Amersham, United Kingdom.
GE Healthcare CEO John Flannery told the Chicago Tribune that the company would move into space already leased by GE Transportation, another General Electric subsidiary. Flannery also told the newspaper that Chicago did not offer any tax incentives.
“We are excited to strengthen GE’s roots in Chicago, where we will continue our focus on being the leading provider of outcome-based solutions for the healthcare industry,” Flannery said in a news release. “Chicago has a rich industrial heritage, terrific international transportation links and is close to some of the world’s leading healthcare and academic institutions. It is also ideally located for many of GE Healthcare’s operations.”
