Schneider Electric is one of the world's largest manufacturers of equipment for electrical power distribution and for industrial control and automation. The company helps power generators distribute electricity; designs automation systems for the automobile and water-treatment industries; builds smart electric networks and utility management systems for energy, water treatment, oil and gas, and marine applications; and manages electric power in residential, industrial, and commercial buildings.

NMB Technologies manufactures miniature ball bearings (radial bearings, steel and chrome bearings, and shielded bearings), electric motors (hybrid, permanent magnet, and spindle motors), cooling products (axial fans and blowers), computer keyboards (for wireless, notebook, and PDA platforms), audio speakers (for the automotive, PC, and consumer industries), and other mechanical and electrical components.

Global Thermoelectric company makes thermoelectric generators that do not have moving parts, so they need little maintenance and provide reliable power for remote locations. The generators are used to power remote-control monitoring sites of pipelines, offshore platforms, and similar facilities. Although QUANTUM Fuel Systems initially agreed to acquire Global, rival fuel cell company FuelCell Energy acquired Global in 2003, then sold the company to Rockwood Equity Partners the following year. FuelCell Energy retained Global's solid oxide fuel cell business.

Established in 1974, Hytek went public in 1983 and was acquired by Natel Engineering in 2005. Hytek Microsystems makes microelectronic circuits. The company specializes in thick-film hybrid circuits. "Thick-film" refers to the procedure for printing circuits on a ceramic substrate, "hybrid" to the fact that they comprise smaller components such as semiconductors. Hytek's custom products and standard circuits are used in medical devices, communication and satellite systems, oil exploration equipment, and military and industrial electronics. Other products include delay lines, thermoelectric cooler controllers, and laser diode drivers.

Leica Geosystems HDS is the High-Definition Surveying (HDS) division of Switzerland-based Leica Geosystems Holdings AG. The division develops and manufactures 3D laser-scanning hardware and software products for as-built, detail, engineering, and topographic surveys for 2D and 3D mapping and modeling applications. The unit markets its products under the Leica ScanStation 2 and Leica HDS6000 names, along with the related Cyclone and CloudWorx software packages.

Smiths designs sensors to identify biological and chemical agents, narcotics, weapons, and other illegal contraband, for use in banks, prisons, and industrial facilities, as well as in military, first response, transportation, and homeland security applications. Some of its detection and screening technologies utilize spectroscopy (gamma ray, ion mobility, Raman, and infra-red). Smiths company makes X-ray inspection units to scan mail, luggage, and freight, as well as to detect explosives. Smiths company manufactures metal detectors and makes systems for scanning trucks and freight containers. It is one of five subsidiaries of its parent company Smiths Group Plc.

Everel Group (formerly Vemer Siber) keeps current with its products. Through its two divisions -- automotive and large and small appliances -- Everel makes digital thermometers, energy meters, gas detectors, electromechanical time switches, modular transformers, signal lights, and thermostats, among other products. Everel sells its products worldwide under brand names including Dreefs, Giem, Molveno, and Signal Lux. Italian holding company Hopa S.p.A. (headed by businessman Emilio Gnutti) owns over 50% of Everel Group, directly and through GPP International.
