Every now and then it comes up. The question about the status of the Studebaker Corporation. While some of the details are unavailable to me, here are some facts:
In the 2000s Studebaker-Worthington was owned by State Bank of Long Island . About June 2, 2008 Studebaker-Worthington and basically all of its assets were sold to Main Street Bank, a Texas entity based in Kingwood, TX. The corporation was renamed SB Equipment Leasing Corp. either at that time or by 2010, with an office in Jericho, NY (as I recall). The CEO was, or is, Kenneth Paston. Currently SB is owned as a division of Valley National Bank, which operates a large office in Jericho. It is listed as active and apparently is healthy.
Interestingly, also listed as active is Studebaker-Worthington (U.K.) Ltd. based in Leatherhead, Surrey, UK and Lexis-Nexis (a database) shows two employees.
And that's the rest of the story.
