Contact Information for Zinsco or Sylvania-Zinsco Electrical Company - Osram Sylvania

Zinsco Electric is not a going concern and it is unlikely that you will find direct contact information for "the Zinsco Corporation".

As Zinsco products were later marketed through the Osram Sylvania Electric Corporation, and GTE-Sylvania and because we've had occasional requests from prior employees of Zinsco Corporation or their families for assistance in contacting their prior employer or for employment records, we provide, below, contact information for the Sylvania Corporation. Readers should be aware that information and photographs describing failures of GTE-Sylvania-Zinsco equipment pertain only to that product line and not to other GTE or Sylvania products.

Corporate Website for Sylvania Corporation: www.sylvania.com
North American Headquarters
100 Endicott Street
Danvers, MA 01923
USA
Phone: 978-777-1900
Fax: 978-750-2152

Zinsco or Sylvania Employment Records, Pensions, or other employment records: most companies keep employee records indefinitely. Even if you or a family member worked for Zinsco Corp. before that product line was picked up by Sylvania, Sylvania Corporation may have received and kept those employment records. You should contact Sylvania with any such requests for employment information.
