That extremely simple and reliable device led to the founding of Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Siemens & Halske in October of 1847, the company that would later become what we know today as Siemens. From plating they moved on to build their own telegraph. Their first successful product, an electrolytic method for gold and silver plating, found great success in the 1840s and 1850s. Two brothers Werner and Wilhelm von Siemens began product development in the early 19th century Germany.

Both are great companies employing vast armies of people and generating thousands of jobs at distributors, systems integrators and customers. There are really no two bigger names in industrial automation than Siemens and Rockwell.
