Automation Listers :
Lack of growth in industrial automation is forcing
publicly-held companies into a steady stream of mergers and acquisitions to maintain or improve stock-market valuations.
My previous article (Sept 99) included the "famous-list" of industrial-automation majors, ranked by size. For some reason, no one else publishes this kind of information not sure why.
This is the latest update of the article, which includes new tidbits on various aspects of the merger-fever that is now rampant. I am predicting that the Top-10 will become the Top-5 within the next year. If I'm wrong, I won't be far off...
The original version of this article was published in Controls Intelligence & Plant Systems Report, August 2000. You can have a .pdf file copy on the website too. It's at :
