here are sources on janome/pfaff and singer/elna and svp, which is singer, viking and pfaff.... most of these merges took place in the mid to late 90s....
OF COURSE, Singer/Viking/Pfaff are a group, have been for ages, what I'm saying is that they aren't owned by Janome/Elna! or the other way around, which is what another poster was saying. I wouldn't write Singer/Viking/Pfaff together like that if I were trying to assert that they were separate. Sheesh!
