TMEIC GE, internationally based integrator of drives automation systems and one of the Roanoke Valley’s largest employers of high technology automation engineers, announced on January 30th that it will move from the Salem location it currently shares with GE Energy Controls and Power Electronics to the former headquarters of the Atlantic Mutual Companies, at 1325 Electric Rd. in Roanoke County. “Virginia is a very friendly business state, and the Roanoke Valley has been an exceptional location, first for GE and now for our joint venture,” said Dale Guidry, President and CEO.

Renovations have begun on the new 85,000 sq ft. space, which will house offices, meeting rooms, training facilities, test labs and support service areas for the company’s nearly 300 North American employees. Relocation is expected to begin in the next 60 days and should be completed by mid-summer.

TMEIC GE was formed between 2000 and 2003 as a joint venture between Toshiba, Mitsubishi, and GE, which operated a drives system business for more than seventy years. The company builds drives and automation systems which provide control for the production of metals and related products, paper, cement, cranes, oil and gas, mining, and other industries.
