AEG's history in electrical engineering

AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft), founded in 1883 in Germany, was a pioneer in electrical engineering, initially focusing on developing electrical generation and distribution systems. It helped popularize electricity for industrial, commercial, and residential use. AEG innovated in motor design, electrical appliances, and early electronics, playing a key role in the electrification of Europe. Over time, the company's focus expanded to include automation, industrial equipment, and later, consumer appliances. Although it faced challenges and restructuring in the late 20th century, AEG remains influential in electrical engineering, contributing to modern electrical and electronic products.
