4 Wheel Parts Corporate Office

George Adler and his father in law, began a very small business in 1961, selling 4 wheel drive parts, mainly for Jeep customers, out of his house. Their $5,000 investment paid off when they were able to open two brick and mortar locations in 1976, along with selling parts from a mail-order catalog.

George Adler’s son, Greg, now works as CEO.

By 1982, the company had 5 retail locations. In 1988, the company expanded vertically by manufacturing some of its own parts, under the brand name Pro Comp. The Pro Comp name is now one of the biggest selling brands of 4 wheel drive components.

In 1999, the company again made inroads by becoming one of the first 4 wheel drive parts companies to offer items using an online site.

In 2016, Polaris, Inc., acquired 4 Wheel Parts for an estimated $665 million.

In January 2020, a group of Utah doctors sued the company, stating that 4 Wheel Parts was working against the Clean Air Act by selling “defeat devices” which rendered air pollution controls on vehicles useless.

4 Wheel Parts still maintains its corporate office in Compton, California.

Trifo Corporate Office

Zhe Zhang founded Trifo in 2016. Trifo is a full-stack AI home robot company. In addition to home robotics, the company has been developing an end-to-end integrated hardware/software system with sensing, perception, and decision capabilities.

Trifo is best known for its super-advanced robotic vacuum named Lucy. More than just a vacuum, Lucy comes with a wifi-enabled camera that can see objects as small as 1 inch off the floor, which allows her to avoid socks or pet accidents, as well as being able to check on pets or family members in other rooms and sending you live video.

Trifo holds more than 50 Chinese and US patents. The Max or Lucy vacuums can be linked with Alexa or Google Home systems.

The company says that it intends to release a home robot at the end of 2020 individual healthcare management, home environment understanding and monitoring, and entertainment services. 

“Revenue for smart home products globally will grow to $28.4 billion in 2020, up 54% from $18.5 billion in 2018, and the feature set of these devices continues to improve,” said Zhe Zhang, Trifo’s Founder and CEO

While iRobot’s Roomba has long been the standard for robotic vacuums, but the market for these automated devices is expected to grow to $4.34 billion by 2023, increasing the competition for Roomba substantially.

Trifo maintains its USA corporate office in Santa Clara, California.

Encompass Insurance

While Encompass can trace its roots back to 1897 when they used to sell life insurance, its true beginnings started when their parent company, Allstate Insurance, spun off this subsidiary into the Encompass name in 1999.

Today, Encompass has 2400 agents in 42 states. While their initial company back in the 1800s might have sold only life insurance, today, Encompass offers a full range of auto, life, casualty, and personal property insurance.

Gabi Insurance has been quite disruptive to insurance brokers, including those at Allstate and Encompass.

Encompass remains a subsidiary of Allstate Insurance and maintains headquarters in Northbrook, Illinois.

Xumo Corporate Office

Xumo was created in 2014 by MySpace, Panasonic, and Viant Technology. Xumo is a “free” television and movie company that does not rely on cable or a cable box, satellite, or a broadcasting channel, but rather, streams live over an internet connection.

In 2015, Panasonic and Vizo offered Xumo. Other services began adding Xumo shortly after, including LG Electronics, and Funai. The company added an Android app in 2018.

CEO Colin Norris stated in 2019 that Xumo was available to 35 million homes in the US. Xumo does not require a set-top box or dongle because TVs include it in a manner similar to Roku. Xumo earns revenue from advertising.

In early February, Xumo struck a partnership with the beInSports channel.

The company added the Go Traveler channel, also in early February 2020.

Comcast was reportedly talking about buying out Xumo in December 2019, but neither company would confirm this.

Headquarters for Xumo are located in Irvine, California.
