Leaders in Business with GE Manufacturing Solutions' Walter Amaya --SOLD OUT

No doubt there’s lots of toy trains being sold this Christmas, but real locomotives are going to be built next year right here in Fort Worth!

GE Manufacturing Solutions, the world’s leading maker of rail and transportation products, selected Fort Worth in May 2011 as the site for its new, state-of-the-art locomotive manufacturing facility.  Eighteen months later, the company is in the midst of hiring 300 employees to begin production in January.

Heading up the operation is Plant Manager Walter Amaya.  Walter was born in Obregon, Mexico, and joined GE in 2000 as Plant Manager for GE Transportation’s fabrication facility (GEMC) in Saltillo.  He graduated from the Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM) with a B.S. of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and holds a MBA from the University of Dubuque and a Masters Degree in Executive Management at the Universidad Panamericana (IPADE).
