AEG

Industrials

AEG, short for Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft or General Electricity Company, was a German electrical equipment manufacturer founded in 1883 by Emil Rathenau in Berlin. Rathenau had acquired the rights to the electric light bulb at the International Exposition of Electricity in Paris in 1881, and the company's first focus was electrical lighting, which it introduced to cafes, restaurants and theaters from small power stations. By the end of the nineteenth century AEG had constructed 248 power stations. After the Second World War its headquarters moved to Frankfurt am Main, in 1967 it joined with its subsidiary Telefunken, and in 1982 AEG-Telefunken filed for bankruptcy. Daimler-Benz purchased AEG in 1985, the company was carved up in the 1990s, and it was formally dissolved in 1996. The AEG brand has been owned since 2005 by the Swedish company Electrolux, which licenses it to other brand partners.
