I agree it is possible for manufacturers of all kinds of products to subcontract to rivals to keep the factories running. Witness the fact that during WW2 a lot of Jeeps were built by Ford! In my own experience, the Whirlpool corp makes a lot of appliances that are branded Sears Kenmore and some other private brands. It only makes sense!
