Beyond extreme populism. Doesn't it bother anyone that Siemens turbines are being supplied to Russia through China for billions of dollars? And what are we going to do about it now?
Jail the CEO and bankrupt the company into non-existence like we should have after they built the gas chambers in WW2?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kontron
The corporate group was originally headquartered in Augsburg and consisted of the Kontron Europe GmbH, with its main sites in Ismaning, Augsburg, Deggendorf, and Saarbrücken (other locations included San Diego, Fremont, California, Montreal, Plzeň, Toulon, Bangalore, Taipei, Tokyo and Beijing). Kontron acquired Dolch in 2005.
In August 2017, Kontron was merged into Austrian-based S&T,[7] and was renamed Kontron Group on 1 June 2022, with its corporate headquarters in Linz
I think it is legitimate to refer to it as a German company, with most of its production still in Germany. You are right that the group is legally headquartered in Austria.
If it got acquired by an Austrian Company which now calls the shots, it's an Austrian company
