George Westinghouse set up the Westinghouse Electric Co Ltd of London in 1889. The London Company was an agency for selling and installing the products of the Electric and Manufacturing Company in Pittsburgh. The products consisted of gas and steam engines and a wide range of electrical goods - generators, transformers, switchgear, meters, motors, control gear, and arc lamps. Seeing the opportunities in the UK, George Westinghouse formed British Westinghouse as a limited company as a manufacturing subsidiary of the American Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. British Westinghouse was located at Trafford Park, Manchester from 1899 to 1919.
