Oregon & Carlton

[MG2186]

I was talking to my Oregon rep and he informed me that Oregon and Carlton are now owned by the same. Company. All the chain is made in the Oregon factory now and just rebadged/boxed. Probably old news to some but not to me so thought I’d share it is all

Blount bought out Winsor in 2000 and Carlton in 2008.

This is some of the companies they own OREGON, Carlton, KOX, ICS, Woods, Speeco, Alitec, Central Fabricators, Gannon, Wain-Roy, and WoodsCare.

No Oregon is owned by Blount.

I have worked at Central Fabricators for 23yrs. So before Woods bought us out and then Blount bought Woods.

What kind of stuff do they produce for Stihl? Is Blount kind of into sporting goods too?

 

[Sty57]

From what I understand, they do bars, chains and sprockets.
I know he said a lot of there South America stuff is from Oregon.

 

[Sty57]

Im guessing here but I would say it depends on the location and markets.

Blount doesn't have any sporting goods businesses.

I was reading back in the 90's they owned Federal Ammunition and Redfield optics. Must have sold them off...

That could very well be.
That would of been a long time before they bought us out.
