SIEMENS

Groupe international originaire d’Allemagne, SIEMENS a été créé en 1847 par Werner von. La firme s’est diversifiée dans les secteurs d’activité tels que l’industrie, l’énergie, la santé et le bâtiment. Classé comme la meilleure entreprise employeur privé d’Allemagne, il est aussi la plus grande société d’ingénierie en Europe en termes d’effectifs du personnel. Le siège principal du groupe est basé à Munich. Au cours des siècles précédents SIEMENS a accumulé plusieurs succès dont :

  • amélioration du télégraphe à index électrique en 1847
  • l’entreprise devient une société anonyme (SA) en 1897,
  • la fabrication d’avion de chasse pendant la guerre mondiale.
  • la création du consortium Unidata en 1972,
  • la réalisation d’une commande de 10 TVG pour compagnie ferroviaire transmanche Eurostar, etc.

Les diverses réalisations de Siemens et sa collaboration avec d’autres entreprises ont permis à la firme d’accroître son domaine d’activité. Suite à une restructuration, l’entreprise compte à présent plus d’une dizaine de divisions comme Smart Infrastructures, Energy Management, Healthineers, etc. La société est cotée en bourse avec une grande part des actions détenue par la famille Siemens (6,45 % en 2019).

Schneider Electric SE

Société multinationale française créée en 1836, Schneider Electric était baptisée sous le nom de Schneider et C. Elle est une leader mondiale dans le domaine des solutions numériques en énergie. De même, la compagnie s’est spécialisée dans l’automatisation pour améliorer la durabilité des systèmes énergétiques. Présente dans près de 100 pays, Schneider Electric emploie environ 135 000 personnes.

Dans le domaine industriel, elle développe des solutions et produits destinés aux bâtiments, aux institutions de données, aux industries, etc. Sa stratégie de production consiste à combiner plusieurs moyens, dont les technologies énergétiques, l’automatique en temps réel et les logiciels utiles.
Pour le compte de l’exercice 2019, la société a atteint un chiffre d’affaires de 27,2 milliards d’euros. Cela a valu un classement dans la Fortune Global 500, une place dans l’indice boursier du CAC 40 et dans l’Intercontinental Exchange.

Par ailleurs, le potentiel financier de Schneider Electric SE, lui a permis de racheter plusieurs entreprises et d’élargir ses services à plusieurs domaines d’activité en dehors de l’énergie. La compagnie cumule environ 101 ans de cotations à la bourse européenne.

En effet, son introduction en Bourse remonte à 1871 (XIXe siècle). Au fil des années, le nombre d’actionnaires a augmenté jusqu’à 122 000 en 1913. Les détendeurs des meilleures parts de l’entreprise sont Schneider Electric (auto-contrôle) à 5,10 % et Schneider Electric (plan d’épargne) à 4,32 %.

Dans le contexte de l’après Seconde Guerre mondiale où l’industrie aéronautique était dominée par les États-Unis, la compagnie Airbus s’est créé un chemin. Cela lui a permis de gagner plus de parts de marché.

  • Stelia Aerospace (ex-Aerolia/Sogerma),
  • Airbus Corporate Jet Centre/Airbus Corporate Jets,
  • TESTIA, an Airbus company,
  • Navblue,
  • Airbus Transport International.

La compagnie a été introduite en bourse en juillet 2000. Ses principaux actionnaires à ce jour sont les sociétés Flottant avec 67,60 % des partsSogepa (10,95 %) et GZBV qui détient 10,93 %. L’entreprise construit 67,2 % des avions commerciaux et s’investit à hauteur de 20,8 % dans les systèmes de défense et aérospatiaux Français.
