IEC
TICKER SYMBOL: ELECTRIC
Has a subsidiary, Ziggurat, which manages social media.
The International Electric Corporation (IEC), simply referred to as International Electric, was a corporation from Berlin, Germany. IEC boasted holdings and markets in consumer products, defense industry, heavy industry and durable goods, raw materials, computers, and in media. Ultimately, there was no doubt that manufacturing had been the principal milieu of IEC, but so many different products come out of IEC plants and so many different markets are reached that it is difficult to simply say that it had been a manufacturing conglomerate and leave it at that. IEC's non-manufacturing holdings included a media company, a bank, and various diverse retailing and service subsidiaries.
In 2020, IEC is a major contender, competing with the likes of Arasaka, Militech and EBM in the sale of items ranging from household kitchen appliances to toys to military weapons. IEC is, in fact, the second largest military contractor in the world, surpassed only by Militech, which sells more defense related items but which is less diversified.
