Steve Cunningham Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 AEG was the European arm of GE. This fan is the AEG version of the GE fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf Augenstein Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 While there are similarities between the companies , AEG was not a subsidiary or in any way a branch of GE. When it was founded in Berlin by Emil Rathenau in 1883 it was called Deutsche Edison Gesellschaft - since they were producing lamps and bulbs under license from Edison, in 1887 they changed the name to Allgemeine Elektricitäts Gesellschaft AEG. In the early electrical years many European companies looked to and cooperated with American companies - therefore we see sometimes similar products or names. Like AEG , the Britisch General Electric Company GEC was founded as an independent company- unrelated to the American GE. The Italian CGE , however, was founded in 1921 and owned and managed by GE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Koh Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 In my quest to find out more information about these I cam across what seems like a ventilating version of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Pierson Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I had one of those back in the day and I believe Ralf is the new owner. interestingly, while the blade looks like the GE version, it is actually not. The AEG blade is much heavier as well as a few other differences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they quieter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Pierson Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yes, definitely quieter! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
