The world's largest manufacturer of communications equipment. Headquartered in New York. Originally founded in 1869 in Cleveland as an electrical appliance store called Gray & Barton, Western Electric became a subsidiary of American Bell Telephone Co. (the parent company of the Bell System) in 1882, but when the company was absorbed by AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company) in 1900, Western Electric became a subsidiary of AT&T (still a wholly owned subsidiary). Currently, over 90% of the communications equipment that Western Electric manufactures or purchases and delivers is for the Bell System.
