I don't think this is right.

1. There was a steel making process called Siemens-Martin, which came out after Bessemer, but before Krupp. Also, Siemens-Martin was of English origin, I believe.
2. Siemens (the German conglomerate) was not connected to Krupp as far as I know. So it would have been an odd (and litigiously questionable) name to use.
