PutnamEco Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Can't say I like the consolidation of brands, but it seems to be a trend these days of all the little fish getting gobbled up by a few big fish. Just about any product that you come across comes from one mega corp or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I had no idea Stanley owned Facom or that Danaher owned Fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 It is next to impossible to keep track of who owns who these days. If your really interested in a company, watch their stock reports.I had no idea Stanley owned Facom or that Danaher owned Fluke.SK tools was part of Facom for a while. I have some of their tools from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PutnamEco Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I ran into an article on SK last night. Wasn't real detailed though so I didn't post.Wikipedia always seams fairly up to date. There are a few glaring holes though. I wish I had more time to contribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
