American Yard Products. They also make Husqvarna and a few others.
Some are, some aren't. A lot of Husqvarna products are sold as badge engineered items, as well (Craftsman, American Yard Products, Yard Pro, WeedEater, McCulloch, etc.).
Weed Eater, Poulan Pro, Ariens, and Craftsman Yard Tractors (YT Series) are all made by Husqvarna (aka American Yard Products).
