Segway Inc

People would have thought that zipping about on two wheels was something out of a science fiction movie a few decades ago. Segway Inc. has shown us that this is also possible in real life. In 2015, a Beijing-based firm called Ninebot paid $80 million for the transportation company. Segway’s fortunes have only improved since then, thanks to the Chinese company’s assistance in gaining a stronger footing in the worlds of technology and robotics. The firm stated in 2018 that it will relocate its manufacturing sector from New Hampshire to China. However, it then reversed its decision, stating that the majority of production will continue in Bedford.

John Hancock Life Insurance

Under the John Hancock Financial Opportunities label, a variety of products are available. The firm is most recognized for its life insurance plans, which is no secret. It has been in business since 1862 when it was formed in Boston. However, it was purchased by Manulife Financial, a Canadian firm, in 2004. Despite the fact that the new parent firm had the option of simply absorbing the John Hancock brand, it opted to maintain it under its previous identity. Manulife Financial is headquartered in Toronto and employs more than 34,000 people, including 63,000 agents.
