This year, four foreign companies made the listing — the same number as last year, but this time they ranked higher. One, Smiths Group, London, UK, fell off the list, but is listed in the Rising 10 since it is only a matter of time before it returns to the Top 25. The highest ranked foreign company was a new entrant, UK-based G4S plc. Ranked 13th, G4S owns Wackenhut, a major provider of security services to nuclear plants and other facilities. QinetiQ Ltd., London, ranked 14th on the list, is the owner of Apogen Technology, an information technology company, and Foster-Miller, a manufacturer of robots used to defuse bombs and against chemical and biological threats. American Eurocopter LLC, a unit of the Franco-GermanSpanish European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., ranked 16th, provides helicopters to the Coast Guard and CBP . In July 2008, it was awarded an indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contract for up to 50 additional AS350B3 helicopters worth more than $150 million. CBP already relies heavily on a Eurocopter fleet that includes 48 AS350s and 15 EC120s. Another five EC120s are already on order. Siemens AG, Munich, Germany, owes its ranking of 18th to its relationship with the Transportation Security Agency. Siemens installed and maintains the baggage-screening equipment purchased as a result of the Sept. 11, 2001 crash deployment program. Next year’s listing promises to reshuffle the rankings as priorities for tightening US borders shift. Yet with the maturing of the homeland security market, it will likely list many of the same companies.
