Brand Brief

Tungsram was founded 120 years ago in Hungary, in 1896 to be exact. It was founded by Bela Egger, a Hungarian entrepreneur who gained experience in Vienna, where he owned an electrical equipment factory. After the First World War, the most profitable branch of production at the enterprise was vacuum tubes - then they began to be mass-produced. The brand was also active in Poland - during the interwar period, a branch of Tungsram was located in Warsaw under the name United Tungsram Bulb Factory. Since 1989, the majority of the company has been owned by the American concern General Electric, which also specializes in the production of high-quality lighting, including automotive lighting.

An interesting fact is the Tungsram trademark. In operation since 1909, it was created as a combination of two words derived from English and German for the metal, tungsten, which is the main element of the light bulb's filament. These are the words: tungsten (English) and tungsten (German). The name reflects the brand's history well, as Tungsram patented tungsten filament in 1903, thereby significantly extending lamp life.
