Apart from the Eiffellandian car industry, which presents itself separately, the Eiffellandian industry is also active in several other branches. The most important ones are the biomedical, electronic (Rathenau Gruppe), lens technique and photography branches.


Biomedical industry

The Eiffellandian biopharmaceutical industry consists of three companies:
- Pharmaceutics;
- Medical devices;
- Medical equipment and equipment for laboratories.

Pharmaceutics
Boehrig Ingelheim produces and invents antibiotics, medications for Asthma and COPD, antiflogistics, dermatologica, vaccines, coagulants, anticoagulants, heart medications, bowel medications, bandages, medications for endocrinological diseases, psychopharmaca, pain killers and products for dentistry. Boehrig Ingelheim is also very active on the tooth paste and tooth brushes market.

Medical devices
Medictronics produces external pacemakers, defibrillators, ECG equipment and bone reconstruction materials.

Hospital and laboratory equipment
Heppendorf is the company in this sector. It produces all kinds of laboratory and hospital equipment, for instance injection needles, infusion needles, micropipettes, cell separation techniques, micro-infusion techniques on cell level, X-ray equipment, endoscopy equipment, flow cytometry equipment, echography equipment and so on. Eppendorf also equips the MEDEVAC planes, used by the Eiffellandian armed forces to carry severely wounded people.


Electronics: Rathenau Gruppe

The Rathenau Gruppe consists of diverse electronic companies. Herewith a list.

NAE
This is our high-quality brand for car radios, hifi-installations (grammophone, tape recorder and radio connnected to one amplifier which sends the sound to the speakers), televisions, complete audio- and light equipment for concert and conference halls as well as theaters, recording equipment for studios, broadcasting equipment (both television and radio) and music instruments. The sound is tremendous with NAE, and you will enjoy it life-long.

Schwarzpunkt
Schwarzpunkt produces car radios, grammophones, tape recorders and radios for a reasonable price.

TEG
Ever-lasting and easy to use house-hold equipment? That's possible with TEG. This division produces washing machines, wash dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, hoovers, electric and gas cooking herds with and without oven, electric gas ovens, coffee makers, bread toasters, hair dryers and so on.

Nichsdorf
This division manufactures typewriters, telephone, telegraph and telex equipment and radio-equipment for use by the police, fire department and ambulances.

Rathenau Musikgesellschaft (RMG)
The recording of classic music and jazz requires much experience, much love for music and much know-how. The Rathenau Musikgesellschaft (RMG) contracts the best orchestras in Europe for its recordings in the RMG studios or concert halls. But don't think other music styles require less care. Also the recordings of those styles will be carried out with care.
RMG - The label for the best recordings you can get.

Rathenau Militärausrüstung
This division produces a.o. radio systems for use by armed forces. The systems in question have been designed for working under the most extreme circumstances. They have been designed in such a way that they can work a long time without recharging, and the batteries can be recharged easily even in the field.


Lens techniques and photography

Eiffelland has a long-standing tradition in lens techniques, photography and filmograhpy. Two companies are active in this branche: Agfas A.G. and Karl Seiff GmbH. Both companies cooperate with the Rathenau Gruppe to develop the new technology around television.

Agfas A.G.
The Eiffellandian company Agfas was one of the first to introduce colour photography in the 1930s; nowadays it produces photofilm and moviefilm materials, easy-to-use photocameras, hand-held moviecameras which use the recently developed alkaline batteries, advanced moviecameras for the motion picture industry and movieprojectors for both at home and at the cinema. Furthermore, this company also produces printing presses and offset equipment for printing works.

Karl Seiff GmbH.
Karl Seiff was a pioneer in lens technology; his company Karl Seiff GmbH was one of the first to introduce the reflexcamera under the brand name Seiff Ikon, but is also known for its state-of-the-art microscopes, binoculars, spectacle glasses, periscopes for submarines and telescopes (both the small types for amateur starwatchers and the large ones in astronomical observatories).

Transistor technology is already known for a while, but now the Rathenau Gruppe introduces the transistor to radio technology. The transistor radio is about 1/5 of the size of a traditional valve radio. Furthermore, where a valve radio needs to heat up for 15 seconds before it works, the transistor radio works as soon as you turn it on. On top of that, a transistor radio is far less vulnerable than a valve radio.
The Rathenau Gruppe also introduces the transistor radio as a built-in radio for cars. Up to now, radios could only be built into the bigger luxury cars. Now it would even be possible to equip smaller cars with a radio.
And finally, from now on, Rathenau Militärausrüstung will deliver field radio with transistor technique as well.

Press release

Boehrig Ingelheim introduces Microgyne, a new medication against menstrual disorders. Microgyne consists of a combination of Ethinyloestradiol and Progesterone. With this medication, it is possible to regulate the menstruation in a comfortable way. No more irregular bleeds, and no more excessive bleeds.

OOC: The information leaflet of Microgyne describes the following side-effect: Temporary infertility. This means that I just introduced the contraceptive pill. A bit early, but I want to help out [MENTION=7]Camden[/MENTION] with an RP concept he wants to introduce.

It was a Dutch company (Organon) which introduced the contraceptive pill. It was definitely developed as a method of contraception, but in the beginning it was not introduced as such. At least not on the American market. This because Organon considered it too risky to introduce it as a method of contraception. So initially it was introduced as a medication for regulating the menstruation cycle, but the side-effect "temporary infertility" was explicitly mentioned in the information leaflet. Needless to say that suddenly many women went to their doctors because of menstruation problems, and obtained the contraceptive pill in this way. Later on, Organon marketed the contraceptive pill as a form of contraception in Europe, which led to the start of the sexual revolution in the 1960s.

Nice detail: Initially, it were nuns who packaged the contraceptive pills in the factories of Organon in Oss, The Netherlands.

For now, I will market Microgyne as a medication to regulate disordered menstruation cycles.

Medictronics introduces the implantable pacemaker to the market. With this implantable device, we can help people suffering from scaring and potentially life-threatening heart rhythm disorders by forcing the heart into a normal rhythm. The first implant took place in the Pietas, location Trier-Mitte. The Pietas is the university hospital of the Universität der Stadt Trier.

On behalf of the Armed Forces of the Holy Commonwealth, we inquire about the possibility of updating/expanding our technology in the field. We are looking to equip our Army Aerial and Army Armoured forces with better communications technology, as well as develop with the relevant Eiffelandian Industries a "Desert War kit" to issue to every soldier, in the form of bottled water, anti-heatstroke tablets, and other supplies. We are prepared to offer lucrative contracts to expand Eiffelandian investment in our country.

-Congress of Representatives,
Holy Commonwealth of Tizona

We are very much interested in cooperating with you in this matter. Rathenau Militärausrüstung can help you with new radio communications technology, and Rathenau Militärausrüstung together with Boehrig Ingelheim can help you with developing a desert war kit as well. We developed such a kit in cooperation with the Pietas (the university hospital and the medical faculty of the Unversität der Stadt Trier). But of course we are also open for your suggestions for improvement, and of course we are also interested in the opinions of your experts.
