The article is entirely sourced from related references. Lack of independent, reliable sources for some of the claims (I have removed some of them by now). Internet search did not result in any significant results beyond regular corporate chatter, i.e. press releases, corporate results, stock analysis. Mention in passing around failed take over by GE. Therefore, fails WP:CORP. There is also some indication of WP:PROMO or WP:COI as this and related users seem to exclusively work on contents for this company, see also Sockpuppet investigations/OldMonk25. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 12:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. AfD is not for cleanup, nor is the content right now irredeemably promotional. There's coverage beyond what is noted above, like here and especially here--if Handelsblatt reports on your company's financial health, you are worth noticing. Drmies (talk) 16:38, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Drmies first reference above meets the criteria for establishing notability. I disagree that the second reference from Handelsblatt does. But this book reference also meets the criteria. -- HighKing ++ 12:55, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- a mid-size company of 200 employees and $60M in revenue; no indication of a cult following or significant impact on its industry. The sock creation is a concern. Any marginal notability is outweighed by the promotional intent. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:02, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
