Signed agreements some time ago to allow exchange of products under each other's brand names. IIRC Whirlpool will begin/has begun selling the FP dish drawers under their own brand names, and *think* the "Brevia" (sp?) countertop dishwasher/drawer is a FP design. Big appliance makers for the most part are not looking to beak into large new markets by building new factories. Much cheaper to get into bed with a home grown appliance maker and come to a mutual benefical arrangement. Think in the future there are probably going to be only a handful of major appliance makers that have most of the market, sort of like P&G,Henkel, Lever Bros and to an lesser extent Colgate-Palmolive control a large part of the detergent market.

F&P is also making KitcheAid's drawer dishwashers so maybe they made some type of even-Steven deal with Whirlpool like GE did a while ago on the Whirlpool 30 inch slide ins.Whirlpool makes GE'S 27" & 24" top loading stacked washer dryers and for a while,GE was making some of Whirlpool's 30" slide in ranges.
