AEG was a German electrical equipment manufacturer founded in 1883 by Emil Rathenau in Berlin. The brand is currently owned and used by Swedish company Electrolux, which also licenses it.
The company's initial focus was driven by electrical lighting, as in 1881, Rathenau had acquired the rights to the electric light bulb at the International Exposition of Electricity in Paris. Using small power stations, his company introduced electrical lighting to cafés, restaurants, and theaters, despite the high costs and limitations. By the end of the 19th century, AEG had constructed 248 power stations, providing a total of 210,000 hp of electricity for lighting, tramways, and household devices.
