Imagining, solving, leading and building have been what GE does for more than 125 years. GE actively engages in putting imagination in action to solve the world's toughest problem and never ceases to build for growth. This is what makes today's GE-a leading company that fuels the global economy.
GE is made up of six businesses: Commercial Finance, Infrastructure, Healthcare, Money, Industrial and NBC Universal, which are aligned for growth. As a global player in the business world, GE seeks opportunities to collaborate with fellow counterparts.
GE is closely associated with the Thomson Group, a world leader in digital video technologies. The history of GE dated from 1878, when Thomson A. Edison founded the Edison Electric Light Company. In 1892, the merger of Edison General Electric Company and Thomson-Houston Electric Company marked the beginning of GE. Branching out from the Thomson Group, GE establishes herself as the leader in the global economy.
In 1987, GE sold it's home electronics businesses to Thomson, merging the complementary activities of the two. Today, Thomson is the exclusive licensee for GE branded telecommunication products. GE's telephony is especially designed, manufactured and marketed all over the world by Thomson Asia Limited, a subsidiary of Thomson and at the same time a key player in the professional and residential telephony.
Thomson Asia Limited is carrying an extensive range of GE's products, including mobile phones, fixed wireless phones, home and office telephony and other products such as recorders and walkie-talkies. Each product category offers comprehensive choices of innovative communication solutions that fit customers' individual needs.
