Is Schlote in the top 500?

Not the top 500. There are many such medium-sized enterprises in Germany, which are different from oligopolistic companies such as the United States, Britain and France. In Germany's foreign trade export, domestic small and medium-sized enterprises account for a large proportion. Schlote is an ordinary supplier of auto parts, which is not as large as Bosch and Voith. Moreover, Bosch is only a subsidiary of Siemens. There are too many companies making basic parts in Germany, and some of them are controlled by the French, the British and the Dutch. For example, STROMAG AG, a German auto parts supplier, is a subsidiary of GKN.
