As a separate independent company? Probably.
As a brand name? Not likely.

Just like GM owns Chevy, Buick, Pontiac etc..., Horizon now owns Athearn & MDC.

> GM doesn't own Ford!

Sure they do, but it's all kept real hush-hush to avoid anti-trust problems. They're owned in turn by Warren Buffet and his Berkshire Hathaway, which itself is owned by Bill Gates. :)
