This month Andrew steps out into a new "cut" of his Bevel Cut column. This thoughtful article lays out tables of brands that belong to the parent company, or as the title asks, who owns what?
For example, did you know that Porter-Cable belongs to the already merged conglomerate of Stanley Decker and Stanley. DeWalt too! How about Ryobi and Milwaukee (among others) are brands owned by Techtronic Industries? Yep. Skil and others are owned by Chevron. OK, how about, who owns saw blade makers Freud and Diablo?
You probably know that Jet and Powermatic are owned jointly by JPW Industries. But did you know that JPW and other manufacturing companies (Compass Health and TTG) are owned by TENEX Capital Management. [Ed.]
RIDGID is an interesting company. Two conglomerates own different lines of RIDGID's business. The list goes on. You can read about it and tables of these ownership portfolios in Andrew's article Who Own What?
