In 1907/08 the laboratories of the 'American Telegraph and Telephone Co.' (AT&T) in Boston and the 'Western Electric Company Inc.' in New York and Chicago was decided to be consolidated into the New York building of the 'Western Electric Company Inc.' on the corner Bethune Street/West Street. Both laboratories was supervised by the 'Western Electric Company Inc.', but both of the companies remained individual in commercial, development and patent activities.
In 1924 the European activities was covered by the 'Western Electric Company, Ltd.' in London, England. Representative for Middle and Eastern Europe was E.O.Zwietusch in Berlin, Germany, Potsdamer Str.123b. In 1883 the company opened a branch office and a small store in London. There was already a branch operating in Antwerp, Belgium. The company's office moved to Norfolk House, Victoria Embankment, London WC in 1918. The exact location of the original office and store is not known. In 1898 they acquired a failing cable factory in North Woolwich, London. An 1899 advertisement shows that the company was making vulcanized cables, electric motors and insulators, among other products. The advertisement also showed offices in Antwerp and Paris. The British company expanded rapidly and a new factory complex was acquired in New Southgate in 1922. Radio and tube manufacture was introduced later in the same year and continued until 1925 when the International Western Electric Company was acquired by ITT. The concern was transfered to the International Standard Electric Corporation in New York and the British company name was changed to Standard Telephones and Cables Ltd. |
