    JPW [Industries] owns several large brands including Jet, Powermatic,
    and Wilton. The company has its headquarters in La Vergne, Tennessee
    but also has operations in Switzerland, Germany, Russia, France,
    Taiwan, and China. They sell products in 20 countries throughout
    the world. Their tool brands include:
    Jet
    Powermatic
    Wilton
    Edwards
    Promac
    Tool Air
    GYS

    Same site: "It may surprise you to know that only a handful
    of power tool companies own your favorite tools. That’s right,
    most tool brands fall under a parent company that also controls
    additional power tool manufacturers and brands."
