Westinghouse Electric Corporation
Description
Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail.<br /><br />In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Title
Power Systems Business Unit
Description
This brochure was published around mid-1986 to announce a major restructuring of Westinghouse Electric's Power Systems Business Unit (PSBU). Until that time, the unit was composed of two separate business units: Nuclear Energy Systems, headquartered in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, and Power Generation, headquartered in Pittsburgh and in Orlando, Florida. At the time, Power Generation factories were located in Charlotte and Winston Salem, North Carolina, and in East Pittsburgh. The reorganization announced in this brochure brings the Nuclear and Power Generation operations under one sub-corporate organization, the Power Systems Business Unit, which was to be managed by Jim Moore, Vice President and General Manager, reporting to Executive Vice President Theodore Stern. Directly affecting the Orlando operation was the naming of Tom Campbell as General Manager of Generation Technology Systems Division. Campbell transferred to Orlando, where he became site manager for the next two years.
