HISTORY. At the heart of the inventions that have shaped the modern world lies Marconi's compelling story, an epic of connection and discovery woven through the thread of innovation. It was born as The Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company, at the turn of the 19th century, and then transformed into the Marconi Company. The name Marconiphone, an emblem of excellence in wireless transmission, has stood out in the technological panorama since the 1920s, offering cutting-edge equipment to the domestic public. Marconi products embody the technical perfection and uncompromising quality that have made global communication a tangible reality. From the glittering adventure of radio waves, Marconi Scientific Instruments, rooted in Soho, was committed to providing cutting-edge receivers for amateur radio enthusiasts. But it was in 1922 that the "Marconiphone" department was born in Chelmsford, revealing to the world the beginning of an era of unprecedented connectivity. The year 1925 marks a turning point with the transformation into "Marconiphone Co. Ltd.", moving the head office to Sterling's premises on Tottenham Court Road. Production, subsequently concentrated in Dagenham, is testament to the relentless commitment to excellence. In total, around 1500 companies associated with the Marconi brands contributed to writing this extraordinary technological saga. Marconi's greatness also lies in its firm dedication to research and innovation. Never a company at rest, it has been able to ride the wave of progress without ever fearing challenges. While it does not produce valves/pipes, it has played a crucial role in design and engineering, working with companies such as Edison Swan Electric Co. Ltd. to maintain its leadership in the industry. Over the years, the history of Marconi is intertwined with that of other excellences in the technological panorama, such as the foundation of Marconi-Osram Valve Co. Ltd. in 1919 together with GEC. A journey through the pages of industrial history, which culminates with the birth of Associated Electrical Industries (AEI) in 1960, marking another stage in the extraordinary journey of this titanic enterprise. In conclusion, Marconi is not only synonymous with technological innovation, but embodies an intrinsic emotion, a human and industrial epic that has revolutionized the world of communications. Each Marconi radio is an open window onto a universe of discovery and connection, a changing witness to an era that has embraced the future with courage and determination.
