GE Healthcare Life Sciences will open a new 160,000 square-foot facility in Marlborough, Massachusetts, as the new headquarters for its US operations. With a $21-million investment, the company will establish a new site for more than 500 GE Healthcare Life Sciences employees, including the creation of more than 220 new jobs. Recruitment has begun with the site scheduled to open in the spring of 2015.

This investment will transform a currently unoccupied space into labs, customer application facilities, and office space to complement GE Healthcare Life Sciences' existing manufacturing capability in Westborough, Massachusetts. The facility will consolidate GE Healthcare Life Sciences' US East Coast presence.

GE Healthcare Life Sciences' $4-billion business has more than 11,500 employees in more than 100 countries. The new US headquarters will house employees from across the Life Sciences business, including its research, bioprocessing, medical imaging, in vitro diagnostics, and services segments.
