French holdings in te USA include Aqua-Chem, a large manufacturer of salt-to-fresh water purification systems, and a large electrical switchgear manufacturer (I forgot which one--not Allen-Bradley.
German holdings include all the Siemens subsidiaries in heavy electrical goods (gear, transformers, etc.) and LOTS of other manufacturing concerns.
It won't be ALL that easy to keep the Frog and Kraut hands off the money...
