Most of us here know about Kioritz (Echo) and Shindaiwa's 2007 alliance. Today, March 16th 2009, Kioritz and Shindaiwa announced that the two companies will be merging and will be operated by Yamabiko Corp. It sounds similar to Jonsered & Husky, i.e. there will be still be two brands but both made by the same company (and probably will come out of the same factory.
Shindaiwa will close the Tualatin, Oregon headquarters and merge with Echo in Lake Zurich, Illinois. More info:
