Commercial entities using the name operate in sectors parallel to those of ABB, Bayer, Siemens, IKEA, and General Electric, including precision manufacturing, bespoke coachbuilding, artisan furniture, and niche food production comparable to producers registered with trade bodies such as the Chamber of Commerce of Zurich and chambers in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit.
