Well, everything that Sarah Lee and Philip Morris don't own.

 

[RossMAN]

Proctor and Gamble

 

[Rumpltzer]

Do offshore companies count?

Hitachi
Shimano
Samsung
Hyundai

etc.

Most of the Japanese and Korean companies that we know of are companies that make anything from diapers to toilets to consumer electronics to construction equipment.

Unilever

Textron
PepsiCo
Knight-Ridder
3M

[richardycc]

Berkshire hathaway owns them all!

 

[TheBoyBlunder]

Nestle.

 

[blackdogdeek]

is johnson & johnson a conglomerate?

 

[Kenazo]

how about the company that owns panasonic. matsushita.

also:
Owens Corning, they make everything from breast implants to fiberglass insulation
GE deffinately has their hands in quite a few things

I'd bet the majority of the $ flow is b/c of companies one could classify as a conglomerate.
