Electrolux L.L.C.
 PROFILE
A pioneer in the vacuum business, Electrolux L.L.C. has been steaming shags and butting baseboards since 1924. The manufacturer sells its Electrolux-brand vacuums and accessories through in-home demonstrations and about 600 Electrolux sales centers in the US and Canada. Salesman Axel Wenner-Gren, instrumental in founding Swedish appliance maker AB Electrolux, started the Electrolux companies in Europe and North and South America in the 1920s. All were later bought by AB Electrolux, except the US company. In 2000 AB Electrolux bought the Electrolux trademark for North America from Electrolux L.L.C. (owned by investment firm Engles Urso Follmer); Electrolux L.L.C. retains the trademark on floor care products until 2007.
