> they shared the fate of all European household appliance manufacturers

Not only household appliance manufacturers but also electronics, mobile phones and whatnot. Philips, Grundig, AEG, Nokia, Bosch are just memories.

Bosch is still going strong - I know them as making mid/high end kitchen appliances and power tools.

Philips still around too, though not the recognizable company it once was (might be doing better financially though?…)
