SERAING , a town of Belgium in the province of Liege, adjoining the city of that name. Pop. (1904) 39,843. It lies on theright bank of the Meuse above Liege, with which it is connected by
rail
  and tramway. Seraing owes all its prosperity and importance to the
firm
  founded by John
Cockerill
 , an Englishman, in 1817, with the co-operation of King
William
  I. of the Nether-lands, who provided half the
capital
 . The
Cockerill
  family has
long
  disappeared, and the enterprise is now known as " the John Cockerill
Company
 ." It is one of the largest factories of engines and machineryapart from war materialon the
continent
 . Its headquarters occupy the old summer palace of the prince-bishops of Liege. In 1890 it established a branch at
Hoboken
  on the

  for the purpose of undertaking ship-building. The
company
  employs 14,000 hands.
