PLAINVILLE, Conn. — May 1, 2012 — GE Energy's (NYSE: GE) Industrial Solutions business kicks off the Electric Odyssey Tour today with an employee event at its Plainville, Conn., headquarters. GE Energy's Electric Odyssey Tour is a six-month road show in the United States and Canada that highlights innovative product and service offerings from the Industrial Solutions business.


Attendees can experience the advanced Industrial Solutions technologies that touch all parts of the electrical infrastructure — including low- and medium-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, transformers, arc flash mitigation products and lifecycle service solutions.

The tour will bring the latest industrial products, services and aftermarket solutions to GE's customers at more than 200 sites in some 80 cities across North America. From Plainville, the Electric Odyssey tour will head to North Carolina. In June, the tour will visit customers in Canada before returning to the U.S.

"The Electric Odyssey Tour is a great way for us to bring our products and services directly to our customers' facilities, where they can see, touch and experience them firsthand," said Luis Ramírez, CEO, GE Energy's Industrial Solutions business. "Every product and service showcased in the tour is backed by the strong reputation of the GE brand.
