It was established in 1905 as Compagnia Generale di Elettricità, a subsidiary of the American General Electric. Initially, the company focused on manufacturing electrical equipment, including power generation machinery, lighting systems, and industrial electrical components. Over the decades, GECI expanded its operations and product lines, playing a significant role in the electrification of Italy.

GECI underwent various corporate changes throughout its history, including ownership shifts and mergers. In the late 20th century, its operations were integrated into larger industrial groups. The legacy of GECI is tied to its contributions to Italian industrialization and the development of electrical infrastructure. While the company as an independent entity no longer exists, its impact on the Italian economy and technological progress remains a notable part of its history.
