Not in any of the businesses I've been employed.

Power Generation: GE kicks _everyone's butt. Almost everyone else has dropped out of the business.

Small Gas Turbines: Solar Turbines is the best in the world. No German or Japanese competition.

Compressors of all sorts: Atlas Copco just offered to buy our Turbo compressor division, because we have better designed and engineered products that sell for less and cost less to make.
