The Scott Fetzer Company is a diversified manufacturing and marketing organization headquartered in Westlake, Ohio. Its origins go back to 1914, when a Cleveland machine shop established by George Scott and Carl Fetzer began collaborating with inventor Jim Kirby to produce the Kirby vacuum cleaner. The Kirby line remained central to the company through the 1960s, after which the firm expanded through a program of acquisitions and growth to become a multi-brand group. Today the company operates as a parent organization overseeing more than 20 brands and business units across home, family, and industrial markets. Its portfolio includes consumer products, technical equipment, and services such as World Book encyclopedias, GINSU products, Adalet explosion-proof enclosures, Meriam instrumentation, Halex electrical fittings, ScottCare cardiovascular monitoring systems, Carefree RV accessories, Wayne Water Systems pumps, and Western Enterprises gas fittings, among others. The company serves a broad mix of customers in educational, consumer, and professional settings, and positions itself as a diversified enterprise rather than a single-product business.
