Aeg

AEG (Allgemeine Elektrizitäts-Gesellschaft) was founded in 1883 by Emil Rathenau as a German industrial manufacturer specializing in electrical equipment and appliances. Based in Berlin, AEG became one of Europe's largest industrial conglomerates throughout the 20th century, with operations spanning power generation, industrial machinery, consumer appliances, and building systems. The company went through significant restructuring and ownership changes, particularly after World War II and in recent decades. Today, the AEG brand and various business units operate under different corporate structures, including licensing arrangements and subsidiary companies.
