Does privately held automatically mean it's 100% owned by a giant? Seems they would say "a division of" or "an affiliate of" or something if so. I need to do more research. Also, being vertically integrated might be a good thing if it means they control the process from beginning to end and are approaching things from a sustainable philosophy.
