About the company:
The Welsbach Gas Light Company was in
operation in Gloucester City, Camden County, New Jersey from the late
1890s through 1940. The company had the exclusive manufacturing and
selling rights for the Welsbach mantle, an incandescent gas mantle used
for street lamps, invented by Austrian scientist and inventor Carl Auer
von Welsbach (1858-1929).
A subsidiary of United Gas Improvement Company, Welsbach was the center
of production for gas mantles in the United States. Welsbach Company's
facility in Gloucester City ceased manufacturing gas mantles in 1940 and
closed sometime in the mid-1940s. The Company was acquired in 1971 by
Jamaica Water Supply and the two companies merged in 1974. In 1995, the
firm reorganized as EMCOR Group Inc. As of 2016, Welsbach Electric Corp.
exists as part of EMCOR Group and is based in New York, New York. --
