 PROFILE
Both a sea change and a name change have swept over Marconi. The company, formerly The General Electric Company (GEC, not to be confused with the US's General Electric), has transformed itself from a military industrial conglomerate to a communications and information technology company after selling its military electronics unit to BAE SYSTEMS (formerly British Aerospace). Marconi's communications group (58% of sales) provides networking equipment and services. Its systems group (28% of sales) makes medical equipment, imaging devices, and retail systems, and its capital unit invests in high-tech start-ups and develops property. In 2001 the company agreed to sell its medical systems business to Philips Electronics.
