Ask HN: Other innovative companies like 3M?

What are some other innovative companies like 3M is/was reputed to be?

I had read some years ago in a book about various companies (most of them were American, IIRC) that 3M was a very innovative company and kept coming out with new products. Today I was buying some 3M product online and was reminded of that book, which triggered this question. Note: the companies could be into any field, not just physical products or software.

Thanks to all who reply.
