Ownership

Still owned and run by the Pasin family; CEO Robert Pasin is the founder's grandson.

Why Watchlist

Radio Flyer describes itself as a Chicago-based family company since 1917, which the record supports. In 2004 it moved metal-wagon production to China and closed its Chicago plant. Its heritage page does not say where products are made.
