Which company did Thomas Edison help establish in 1890?

Thomas Edison helped establish the Edison General Electric Company in 1890.

The company grew from Edison’s electrical businesses and manufactured equipment associated with electric lighting and power systems. It became an important part of the rapidly expanding electrical industry in the United States.

In 1892, Edison General Electric merged with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company. The resulting business was named General Electric, which became one of the world’s major industrial corporations.

Edison was influential in the company’s origins, but he did not remain its controlling force after the merger. The company’s later history included many technologies beyond Edison’s original lighting and power work.
