Wal-Mart
Huge USA based generic retailer/supermarket chain that is well known for their innovative business practices but also for their questionable business ethics, known in the UK as ASDA. Does not design or manufacture anything but holds out Durabrand that they use to brand consumer products that are made for them by OEM's and actually a graphical variant of that brand specifically for brown goods, but note that the company's usage of that brand with CE products appears limited to America. In Germany the company had the exclusive licensee of the Nordmende trademark but recently closed down their stores there.
