Poulan

Purchased in late 1950s or early '60 by the Beaird Company, also of Shreveport, it was known as Beaird-Poulan.

The company was acquired by Emerson Electric in 1972, and was purchased by Electrolux in 1984, which closed its Shreveport factory in 1988.

In 2022, a company called Valsi in Mexico purchased tooling from Husqvarna for manufacturing walk behind mowers.

Valsi also purchased the rights to manufacture outdoor power equipment under the Poulan Pro brand.

The Poulan brand name is used primarily for outdoor power equipment, such as chainsaws, lawn mowers, and leaf blowers, aimed at the mid-level consumer market.
