 PROFILE
Unlike the Greek philosopher for which it's named, Thales (pronounced TAH-less) has no difficulty knowing itself. The French company -- formerly known as Thomson-CSF -- is in the aerospace, defense, and information technology businesses. Products include airborne systems, avionics, information systems, naval systems, optronics, and telecommunications services. Its defense unit (about 60% of sales) is France's largest defense company. The French government owns 33% of Thales; Alcatel SA, a French telecommunications equipment maker, owns 25% (a stake that will be reduced when Thales sells Alcatel its 49% stake in their satellite communications joint venture, Alcatel Space).
