Unaxis Holding AG
 PROFILE
After shedding its shoes and other holdings, highly diversified conglomerate Oerlikon-Buhrle is wearing a new name: Unaxis. The group has been divesting slower-growth holdings (including shoemaker Bally, defense company Contraves Defence, and the Zurich Hotel) to concentrate on high-tech businesses. A thin-film manufacturer since 1946, Oerlikon-Buhrle held such diverse interests as military equipment, aircraft, and clothing. Unaxis focuses on faster-growth markets: information technology (data storage, semiconductors, optics), components (vacuum pumps, instrumentation), and surface technology (component and tool coating). Unaxis has spun off three instrumentation units to form Inficom.
