Acushnet, Inc
Acushnet, Inc在1910年成立于「Peabody, Young & Weeks」的名称，但不久后就把公司以马萨诸塞州Acushnet镇命名为「Acushnet Process Company」。该公司以采Guayule 树脂制造橡胶为主，提供橡胶给不同制造商，包括车轮行业。该公司在六十年代最后改称为「Acushnet, Inc」。
The company was headquartered in Acushnet, Massachusetts, but moved to neighboring New Bedford, and in the early nineties to its current location in Fairhaven. In 1930 the company established a golf division with the aim of making a better ball than the golf balls of the same time. At that time, golf balls were not manufactured in a mature way, and there were often round shells with off-center cores. In 1985, Acushnet acquired FootJoy and in 1966 took down Cobra Golf. The rubber division, which had been sold in 1994, continued to operate as "Acushnet Rubber Company" in the town of New Bedford.
Today, Acushnet is a subsidiary of Fujun Corporation (NYSE Code: FO) and is the world's largest manufacturer of golf equipment. In 2005, the revenue exceeded $1.26 billion. The company has the largest market share in the world, including golf balls, shoes and golf gloves sold on tours and in on-course and off-course specialty stores. The company has five production lines (golf, clubs, shoes, gloves and accessories) that are sold to four major brands (Titleist, FootJoy, Cobra and Pinnacle). The Company's products are primarily sold and commercially labeled golf balls through club specialty stores, non-club golf specialty stores and some sporting goods stores.
