VA Technologie
editThere's more information on Talk:Voestalpine, but the situation with voestalpine and its related companies is very confusing. There is a direct connection between VA Technologie and VA Tech Wabag, whereas the connection between VA Technologie and voestalpine is kind of weird. I finally found proof voestalpine owned 21.25 percent of VA Technologie, and its Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau subsidiary is currently covered extensively in the voestalpine article. It seems now that I have the evidence I need, perhaps that company's activities belong here.
And yet anyone seeing "Voest-Alpine Industries", a part of that company with the long German name, will naturally go to voestalpine. I know I did. All this started when I wanted to write about the company (49 percent owned by Voest-Alpine Industries at one time) whose former factory that I pass by every two weeks is still empty after 10 years.
It's very confusing and I hoped all my work would help people understand just what has been going on. It's really a policy question for Wikipedia, but the last time I tried to sort out the problems on The Village Pump I was yeled at for being immature just because I wanted to write about a company whose name is a dirty word in English.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:43, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
I've added some company information about VA Technologie. There's actually far more information about Voest Alpine Industrieanlagenbau. I'm not quite certain whether, given the new information I've found, that company deserves its own article. I don't know whether to leave that information under voestalpine or move it to this article. If I did the latter, I'd have to find a way to balance coverage of VA Tech's four business areas. It doesn't look like VAI is overwhelmingly large compared to the others. Only the coverage is.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:30, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- See my comments on Talk:Voestalpine. --NeoUrfahraner (talk) 17:01, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- VA Technology was the parent/holding company of the "steel plant construction" division of VA. That is - it was related to the company that developed/supplied Linz-Donawitz converters. - this is partially covered in the history of Voest-Alpine.
- It has no connection to VA Tech Wabag - neither as a subsidiary or predecessor - it's not clear why content was added here - I have removed that and corrected redirects. Please do not re-add.
- More info might go in a new article.Zn3N2 (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
