Dirt Devil
Dirt Devils have become synonymous with vacuum cleaners since the company has been founded in 1905 by Philip Geier in Cleveland, Ohio. Over 25 million units have been sold since then, which is what made it interesting to Chinese company Techtronic Industries, the current owners of Dirt Devil.

Smithfield
Smithfield has been the trusted name when it comes to pork products, especially its sliced ham. It was founded in 1936 by Joseph W. Luter and his son, and their business grew to over 500 farms in the U.S. In 2013, Smithfield was purchased by WH Group, a Hong Kong based company, for $4.72 billion. The company is run from Luohe, Henan province, China but is still headquartered in Smithfield, Virginia.
