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.

Description
A brochure featuring Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Nuclear Components Division manufacturing facility in Pensacola, Florida. After the downturn in the business, became the sole Westinghouse factory dedicated to both large and small nuclear components when the Tampa plant was closed in 1981. This "Manufacturing Capabilities" insert was produced in 1988. The market for new nuclear power plants had dropped sharply and the Pensacola plant was being used mainly for nuclear service work. Westinghouse was actively seeking contracts from outside businesses, such as the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), that could utilize the sophisticated manufacturing capabilities of the plant. At the same time, the 100-year old Westinghouse factories in Pennsylvania were being closed and the newly-formed, Orlando-based Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU), under General Manager and Vice President Frank R. Bakos decided to make use of the Pensacola plant as part of its "Great North American Factory." Many 100+MW-class W501D5/D5A and 150+MW-class 501F gas turbines were assembled there and shipped either by rail or barge from the plant.<br /><br />At the height of the U.S. nuclear power business during the 1970s, Westinghouse invested heavily in manufacturing facilities in Florida that were built to enable the company to achieve a leadership position in the industry. A plant was built in Jacksonville for the Offshore Nuclear Power Plant business), and others were established in Tampa and Pensacola, both to supply specialty components for nuclear power plants. Ultimately, the plant was shut down, due to nuclear component work being transferred elsewhere and the decision to consolidate gas turbine and generator manufacturing at other plants. Following the Siemens acquisition of Westinghouse Power Generation in 1998, the property was sold and is now being used by General Electric Company to do manufacturing and service work on large electric generators.
