British Tungsram Radio Works Ltd. was a UK subsidiary of the Hungarian valve and lamp manufacturer, United Incandescent Co of Budapest. All the valves produced in Britain before 1940 were assembled from parts exported by the parent company and bore the brand name TUNGSRAM. The first valves were announced at the Manchester Radio Show in October 1929; at that time the company name was Tungsram Electric Lamp Works (Great Britain) Ltd.

Tungsram became involved with Radio Record and subsequently took them over in 1935.

Tungsram was acquired by Philips in 1952 and its management taken over by Mullard.
