At about the same time, Charles Coffin, leading Thomson-Houston Electric Company, acquired a number of competitors and gained access to their key patents.

Both plants continue to operate under the GE banner to this day.[11] The company was incorporated in New York, with the Schenectady plant used as headquarters for many years thereafter. Around the same time, General Electric's Canadian counterpart, Canadian General Electric, was formed.Public company In 1896, General Electric was one of the original 12 companies listed on the newly formed Dow Jones Industrial Average.
