Well it is a subsidiary of an American company...

They're both subsidiaries of American companies though.

The company was founded by Americans, too, and throughout its history it's almost always had strong ties to the US.

maxerickson | karma 36996 | avg karma 2.02 · | 2016-01-02 16:30:31+00:00

The US company appears to operate largely independently from the international owner.

ahupp | karma 1623 | avg karma 5.6 · | 2020-10-08 02:45:16+00:00

Their headquarters is in America.

toomuchtodo | karma 88050 | avg karma 2.82 · | 2021-05-22 16:04:23+00:00

US based multinational.

moneywoes | karma 1126 | avg karma 0.62 · | 2024-02-20 17:19:18

would it a be US company?

huac | karma 3886 | avg karma 3.22 · | 2019-11-01 18:06:17+00:00

the US government says it's a US company, so...

cinntaile | karma 4441 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2022-10-22 13:04:56

What he's saying is that it's only a US company in the legal sense and that they're not necessarily operated with "American values".

It is also not a US company. Where it's listed doesn't matter much. It matters where a) headquarters and other significant physical presences are located and b) where the majority shareholders reside. In that regard it is largely a European, and partially a Japanese company.

Absolutely true. Although I’m assuming some people will take offence to the idea of it being run by an American owned company.

ginko | karma 7270 | avg karma 3.43 · | 2018-09-05 13:25:21

Rather than some American corporation, yes.

plandis | karma 1951 | avg karma 2.25 · | 2016-06-01 23:55:27+00:00

So only American companies?

rKarpinski | karma 619 | avg karma 4.52 · | 2024-03-13 19:06:30

No, it's owned & controlled by an American family (from Australia), has its headquarters in New York City and is not beholden to any foreign governments.

Keyframe | karma 7156 | avg karma 2.31 · | 2017-04-15 21:07:42+00:00

Overseas corporation isn't a US corporation.

newen | karma 520 | avg karma 0.59 · | 2020-07-31 19:54:44+00:00

Yep, probably the main reason why they want to sell it to a US based company.

SV_BubbleTime | karma 1896 | avg karma 0.6 · | 2022-06-29 11:33:00

I swear this is a trick question... but they are headquartered in America, yes.

bunnycorn | karma 259 | avg karma 1.07 · | 2018-12-16 09:31:32+00:00

Yes, because it's a multinational.

rcbdev | karma 633 | avg karma 2.65 · | 2024-01-11 00:57:28

Could it be because they're a foreign company?

jumbopapa | karma 599 | avg karma 2.23 · | 2019-10-23 17:23:56+00:00

Yes, but the HQ is US based.
