Siglent is a Chinese test equipment company.

Agilent is HP's life science division (test equipment for biology folks) and the electronic test equipment division is now called keysight.

As far as I'm aware these two were spun out since the growth wasn't as good as the consumer electronics division.

Or to save the crown jewels from going under with HP the IT conglomerate. I guess a mature IT and consumer mass market requires different corporate structure, scale, and growth compared to ee and chem lab equipment.
