Ivry
Cie Générale d'Électricité
Pierre Azaria founded Compagnie Générale d'Electricité (CGE) in 1898. The company absorbed a competitor in 1900 and established a new factory in Ivry-sur-Seine, becoming the first firm in France to manufacture incandescent light bulbs.
In 1905 they began building engines and tricars of 5 and 6 hp at their Ateliers d'Ivry workshops. Light cars and commercial vehicles were also produced, and these were the majority of the output which continued until 1913 or 1914.
A London subsidiary was established in 1906 named Ivry Car & Motor Works, and the machines were presented at the Stanley Show in late 1906.
