Was Rico formerly an independent company?

It now seems that Rico is simply a branch of d'Addario, but I'm wondering whether Rico might not have been an independent company formerly. I think Wikipedia should not just represent the newest development in a company's history but also former stages and document formerly existing companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.51.98.230 (talk) 00:57, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History of brands and sub-brands is unclear

The "family tree" of companies and subsidiaries is hard to sort out. When did the earlier name-based (C. D'Addario & Son, J. D'Addario, etc.) brands replace each other, or did they run in parallel in different locations/markets? When did the modern D'Addario name get adopted? Pauliffer (talk) 16:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that in the 1930's C. D’Addario & Son was formed. In the 1970's J. D’Addario & Company was used but just for printing Darco’s packaging. In 1974 the D'Addario name was adopted. So the Wikipedia reference to 1973 is actually wrong since this year is the 50th anniversary. See https://www.daddario.com/50th-anniversary/ for all the details. 2601:601:8502:87F0:D83E:689F:1728:F536 (talk) 06:47, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

Could someone add the pronunciation pleased? I'm not able to, sorry. I heard a lot of people say it wrong, even in documentaries, calling it "Dee-addario" instead of "daddario". KhlavKhalash (talk) 18:07, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
