Maybe Cars? I don't know of any famous Swiss car companies.
A number of years ago I met a guy who worked for an international collector car dealer.

He told me that one vehicle he delivered to a purchaser in Chicago was a German WWII open four seat staff vehicle which had a lovely brass ID/data plate on the dash which proudly proclaimed (in German) that the vehicle had been made by Dodge of Switzerland.

Of course, Ford was also making deals with Hitler in 1943 to make sure that their truck plant in Denmark didn't get bombed, and General Motors maintained de facto ownership of Adam Opel A.G. throughout the war.
