Sanofi, Nestle, Airbus, Stellantis are not. And those are just the ones I come up woth from top of my head. Germany's strength are actually mid sozed comoanies ezcellong it what they do. And the big obes, is it really a surprise that the biggest EU economy actually has a fair share mega corps?

Airbus is a consortium created to compete with US companies. Nestle is Swiss and isn't in the EU, which is what we're discussing.

Ok, numbers then:

- car makers, three of the top ten (world wide) are German, one is French-Italian with brands in Japan and the US

- pharma: pretty even split between US and Swiss companies, two entries in the top ten from the UK, one from France, none from Germany

- chemical: two German (no idea why statista wouod count Linde as an Irish company), one from Belgium and one from France in the top ten

-aerospace&defence: one British, one French and Airbus (by alleans Frenxh but count it as European if you want) in the top ten

I could research this further, but German companies don't seem to be over represented when it comes to large international corporations
