Some may recall a short discussion on ShopFox and Grizzly ownership (ie
who owns the companies, not the tools)
I had some time so I did a small amount of research. ShopFox is owned by
Woodstock International, apparently a privately held firm.
Interestingly, Woodstock owns many of the brands that Grizzly sells. See
http://shopfoxtools.com/brandnames.aspx
Grizzly is apparently also a privately held firm.
Now, Woodstock has headquarters in the same town as Grizzly Industrial
(the owners of Grizzly tools). Now this is not that big a smoking gun,
except that Bellingham Wa is not that big a town.
Next, the shipping warehouses for both firms are in the same three
towns, all smaller towns,
My guess, from the above evidence, it looks like they do share a common
owner. But Grizzly probably doesn't "own" Woodstock, nor visa-versa (it
keeps one company from being effected if the other company has
legal/sales/fiscal issues)
