Tomkins PLC – Subsidiary Companies (Smith & Wesson)

Guns and buns are two of the hundreds of diverse products made by
international manufacturer Tomkins, whose practice is to buy companies,
streamline their operations, and sell them. The firm’s Smith & Wesson
subsidiary is the world’s #1 handgun maker, and its Red Wing subsidiary
is a leading US maker of private-label grocery products. Other Tomkins
companies produce and distribute food and baking ingredients,
transmission parts, automotive products such as belts and hoses,
