Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits
In 1874 Nagelmackers founded the "Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits" and the "et des Grands Express Européens" addition became part of the name ten years later. By 1886 his company had become the main organiser for most European heads of state. The symbol "WL" held by two lions became a well-known trade mark.
