Business

Name That Company

Founded in 1923 as a yarn company, I grew into America's first conglomerate. Today, based in Providence, R.I., I'm one of America's largest companies. Over time, I've gone from making parachutes and lingerie to industrial tools, golf carts, turf-care equipment and fuel tanks. Some of the brands under my roof include Bell Helicopter, Cessna Aircraft, Jacobsen, Kautex, Lycoming, E-Z-GO, Greenlee and Fluid & Power. My annual revenues are $11 billion.

One-third of the world's operating helicopters carry the Bell Helicopter name, and Cessna planes make up the largest fleet of business jets in the world.

Who am I?
