AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts
Gesellschaft) was established in Berlin in 1883 by Mr. Rathenau,
who had obtained the Edison system patent for producing incandescent
lamps in Germany. The first AEG factory therefore produced lamps,
which meant that it entered the same sector as Siemens and the
American company General Electric. The development of electronics
and market requests pushed AEG to develop in other sectors such
as small, and subsequently big, motors.

A further step
that confirmed the AEG brand in Europe and throughout the world
was its production of low voltage devices, switches and transformers
for medium and high voltages. AEG was certainly pulled along by
the economic development of electrotechnics, but with its study
and research centres it became a pioneer in the development of
more modern technology.
|
| |
| After this, AEG activity
and its production of electrotechnical devices turned towards the
navy, the railway, white goods and electric utensil, overvoltage
dischargers, relays of every type, rectifiers, measuring instruments,
lighting devices, low voltage devices, etc. All the low voltage
electronic fields were covered by 42 factories that existed until
1998, when the AEG group divided into many autonomous activities
with new partners. |
 |
| |
|
| The official
distributor of the low voltage devices became Elettra Srl,
who had absorbed this activity from the Italian AEG (after a period
of AEG-Ticino collaboration).
Elettra Srl is situated in Padua, VII Strada, as is the central
warehouse and the administration, sales and technical offices.
