Alfred Teves

Alfred Teves (27 January 1868 – 5 November 1953) was a German ship's captain who after a short naval career from 1898 reinvented himself as an auto industry entrepreneur. The "Alfred Teves Maschinen- und Armaturenfabrik" company became one of the largest suppliers of components and sub-assemblies to the German auto-industry. It was rebranded during the early 1920s, more succinctly, as "ATE".
