By Stihl, yes - but they have several factories around the world, and you never know where the parts are made.
They have a large factory in China, as far as I know.....

Bourbon... and they stole the name from the once larger county of that name in north/central KY. The county stole the name, not the drink.
You need several maps, a notebook, and darn good tastebuds to figure out who made what where. The labels on so much of it are complete fabrications. It's good, though... :arg:

Redmax division of Husqvarna group
I have been looking at specs & IPL's on GZ4000 & GZ4500,
They are vertically split crankcase saws with a good power to
weight ratio with a 1 year commercial warranty, 2 for others.
Pro type saws are rare in US on 40 cc something saws @ reasonable cost.
They are strato saws; the best I recall, Husqvarna group purchased Redmax
to acquire strato technology.
My opinion: better a strat than a cat.

Yup, our ms 170 is made in virginia beach VA and the hs45 (hedge trimmer) is made in.........China.
KY bourbon whiskey
I watched a show on KET recently about history of KY whiskey making,
it has been going on about as long as moonshiners in NC or GA,
sour mash is starting a new batch with leftovers from the last batch.
NASCAR got its start running shine. I have a neighbor whose pa spent
time in a federal prison long ago for making whiskey around Golden Pond KY
there is an old landing strip nearby where they picked up the whiskey
and flew it back to Chicago in the 30's.

actually the title is backwards the poulans are made by husky husky is owned by electrolux therefore husky makes the poulans as well as the huskys but they are two different plants but same parent company of electrolux which also owns AYP on tractors you get from sears
and other big stores

MMMmmmmmnnnnnn, I'm enjoying some KY Bourbon Right Now.........Actually my Favorite horse (that died last year) was named Bourbon.....RIP buddy
Calvin, listen to Sawtroll
I think he is right on history, Electrolux spun off small engines a few years
ago & now Husqvarna group is titular head. I cant figure out international
finance either, if I could I wouldn't have to run my own saw. I did make 2 K
on Boeing and Intel a few years ago on the stock market when my bud
lost 1K on the 4 legged variety & waded through cow chips doing it, that was good for a laugh.

Maybe but stihl is and always has been made by stihl and sold at a stihl dealer. Not at a box store right beside the throw away saws and lots of other JUNK!

Yes, but I believe part of the reason was to gain EPA points by selling strato Redmax machines on the US market - buying time for Huskys older saw designs so to speak.....
Rebranding of saws is going both ways between Husky and Zenoah/Redmax, in a small scale so far.

Hush! The Stihlboys don't like to hear about that.....
Real Stihl dealers are mostly history around here, but I guess that could happen to any brand?

Yes, there is a lot of booze relabeling around here, but Bourbon is big in Ky.
We lived near Wild Turkey when we lived in Anderson County, but now we live 2 miles downstream from Maker's Mark.
Husqvarna now own's a lot of companies in the OPE industry, changes
happen every month or two, hard to keep up with it.
