Historical records
Current REI ownership connections below were reviewed October 21, 2026. Arrows run from the named parent toward the highest linked REI parent. These are present-day research connections, not ownership claims for the historical report period. The public REI does not list a separate parent profile for every company.
Linked historical company names open their current REI profiles. Where a current parent is identified, the parent name links to its REI profile.
