In 1878, Thomas Edison founded the Edison Electric Company to commercialize his groundbreaking invention, the electric light bulb. One year later, Edison introduced the first-ever circuit breaker, designed to protect electrical systems.

In 1892, Edison’s company merged with the Houston Electric Company, forming General Electric (GE). Over the next 130 years, GE became synonymous with technological innovation, engineering excellence, and global impact across diverse industries. Among its key divisions was GE Industrial Solutions.

In 2018, GE Industrial Solutions was separated from GE due to corporate restructure. In 2019, part of its business evolved into GEIS, a focused spin-off dedicated to advancing the future of electrification. With a commitment to safety, intelligence, and sustainability, GEIS is shaping a new era in the electrical world—one that is safer, smarter, and greener.
