AZO makes Azo balls; about 1 1/2 years ago, LaneMasters bought them. I'd guess the AZO plant now also makes Lane Masters balls. As to who the actual Chemical company is who makes the resin coverstock (like Bayer makes Brunswick and Lane#1 and BASF makes Columbia, Track, NuLine, Morich, etc) I couldn't say.

Omega, as far as I Know, they make their own balls.

Oh, Columbia has also been making AMF's balls for a long time.

Storm makes Roto-Grip, which they own.
Storm also manufactures Dyno-Thane, but DT is totally independent. Storm uses both their own coverstocks and special ones that Dyno-Thane gives them with which they manufacture DT's own balls. SO DT's balls are all their own, with no relationship to Storm's balls at all.

FYI ROto-Grip people say their coverstocks are not shared by Storm.
