Infineon Technologies AG

Semiconductors

Infineon's roots run through the entire history of European semiconductors: it began as the semiconductor division of Siemens, was spun off as an independent company in 1999, and is now the world's leading supplier of automotive semiconductors — the chips that manage everything from engine control to airbags to EV power trains. On average, a modern car contains more than a hundred Infineon chips. The company's technical edge is power: Infineon is the global leader in power semiconductors — the devices that switch and convert electrical power — including IGBTs and silicon carbide (SiC) modules that are essential to electric vehicles, solar inverters, wind turbines, and data center power supplies. It also makes the security chips in passports and payment cards, and radar and MEMS sensors for cars and consumer devices. With about 58,000 employees and annual revenue near €16 billion, Infineon has ridden the EV and renewable energy booms to record results, and its new SiC factories in Malaysia and Austria are among the largest power semiconductor investments in Europe. For the auto industry, Infineon is a critical dependency — the kind of supplier whose chips are designed into platforms years before production, and whose capacity constraints can ripple through the entire car market.

Robert Bosch GmbH

Automotive Parts

In 1886, Robert Bosch opened a 'Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering' in Stuttgart — and in 1902 his company invented the high-voltage spark plug, the product that made the gasoline engine practical and Bosch's fortune. What makes Bosch genuinely unusual among global industrial giants is ownership: 94% of the company is held by a charitable foundation, meaning no shareholders demand quarterly profits, and the company famously reinvests most of its earnings. The business spans mobility (fuel injection, braking systems, ADAS sensors, and now EV powertrains), industrial technology (hydraulics, packaging machinery), consumer goods (power tools, home appliances under the Bosch and Siemens brands), and energy & building technology. Bosch is the world's largest automotive supplier, and its common-rail diesel and ESP stability systems became industry standards. With about 420,000 employees — making it one of the world's largest private employers — and annual revenue near €92 billion, Bosch is in the middle of its largest transformation ever: restructuring around electrified mobility and software-defined vehicles. Its foundation ownership lets it make decade-long bets that public competitors cannot, a structural advantage that shows in its willingness to keep investing through downturns.
