Last week's trivia answer
Headquartered in Lake Forest, Ill., I'm 163 years old. I was founded by a Swiss immigrant who began making carriages, cabinets, tables and chairs, before moving on to billiard tables. Today I'm a global leader in the marine, fitness, bowling and billiards industries. I take in nearly $6 billion annually, mostly from boating and marine engines. My brands include Mercury, Mariner, Mercury MerCruiser, Sea Ray, Bayliner, Maxum, Hatteras, Meridian, Sealine, Baja, Boston Whaler, Trophy, Princecraft, Life Fitness, Hammer Strength and ParaBody. In 2001, I sold my Igloo Coolers business. I employ more than 25,000 people. Who am I?
