Gray & Davis, Inc. was a pioneer manufacturer of automobile electrical equipment with over 1000 employees across three manufacturing plants. The company’s main location was on the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but other plants were located in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and Detroit, Michigan. The company was founded in the late 19th century by president William Gray. It closed in 1926 after it was purchased by American Bosch (now the Ambac International Corporation), a company that manufactures diesel fuel injection systems. The main Gray & Davis building was purchased by Jordan Marsh in 1927.
