Nederlandsche
Radiowerken (NRW) was founded in 1924 in Doorn by
Ir. Willem Frederik de Mol van Otterloo. Later
he became a partner with Dr.
Frederik Lodewijk
Rutgers. |
|
From the year 1926 NRW was located at the
Pieterskerkhof 17 in Utrecht in the former factory of
the Eerste Nederlandsche
Electro-Magnetische Uurwerkenfabriek
Utrecht (ENEM).
The activities of the ENEM
were taken over by NRW. |
|
In addition to radios, the company also
made rectifiers, coil sets, time switches, loudspeakers
and transformers. |
|
NRW made radios from 1924 until
about 1931. After 1927, the brand name "Rumol",
an amalgamation of the
surnames of the founders,
was used. |
|
Conflicts with Philips over licenses in
the period 1929 - 1930 were the reason that in 1932 the
company eventually went bankrupt.
In 1934 it was dissolved. |
