International companies


British Thomson-Houston

British Thomson-Houston (BTH) was created as a subsidiary of General Electric in May 1896. It was previously known as Laing, Wharton and Down which was founded in 1886. BTH became part of Associated Electrical Industries (AEI) in 1959, which saw BTH merged with its rival Metropolitan-Vickers. AEI would itself be acquired by the General Electric Company plc or GEC (not related to GE of the United States) in 1967. GEC demerged its defence businesses in 1999 to become Marconi plc and Marconi Corporation plc, now Telent plc.


Compagnie Francaise Thomson-Houston

In 1893, the Compagnie Francaise Thomson-Houston (CFTH) was formed in Paris, a sister company to GE in the United States. It is from this company that the modern Thomson Group would evolve; demerged in 1999 to form Thomson Multimedia and Thomson-CSF (now Thales Group).
