LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Appliances, a Haier company, is making a bold and strategic move from a branded house to a house of brands, giving Monogram®, GE Café™, GE®, GE Profile™, Haier and Hotpoint their own identities among the owner segments they were crafted to serve. Consumers will see a shift to enhanced branding efforts throughout 2018, but the building and construction industry will get a preview of what’s to come at Design & Construction Week® in January.
“Our commitment is to create ‘good things, for life,’” said Rick Hasselbeck, chief commercial officer, GE Appliances. “From the factory floor to the corner office, everything revolves around this promise to put the owner at the center of all that we do. At Design & Construction Week, you’ll see this in the way we market our brands, in each new feature and in the way our owners embrace and interact with every purposeful innovation we will bring to them.”
The house of brands model enables GE Appliances’ unique product lines to stand on their own, making it easier for consumers, designers and builders to determine the product line that best meets their needs, lifestyles, tastes and price points:
Monogram is the ultra-premium brand that promises to Elevate Everything™ in the kitchen from cooking to refrigeration. It is the definition of luxury, appealing to designers and discerning owners who appreciate fine detailing and personalized spaces.
GE, GE Profile and GE Café provide options for a wide range of owners from tech enthusiasts to those who crave simplicity in their appliances. Backed by more than 100 years of purposeful innovations, owners can expect style, lasting quality and connected features that improve their everyday lives.
Haier-branded appliances are designed for adventurers who live their lives outside of the kitchen and laundry room, but still want sleek, modern styling and unexpected features that make household chores simpler.
Hotpoint provides uncomplicated solutions for busy households where meals are usually simple and quick. With Hotpoint, owners don’t have to compromise quality or long-term durability to get exactly what they need at the right price point.

“From form to function, we’re cornering the market on developing products that truly are ‘good things, for life,’” Hasselbeck said. “We never forget that the owner is boss, and through close collaboration with consumers, partners and our elite class of design teams, we are listening, we are creating, and we are delivering with extraordinary offerings that reflect the styles and lifestyles of our owner segments.”
