Sears Holdings Corp, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last month, said on Nov. 1, it would license out the manufacturing of some its Kenmore and DieHard products to third parties.

The company said the outsourcing of the manufacturing of products such as Kenmore water filtration appliances and DieHard electric vehicle chargers would increase the reach of the brands at U.S. retailers.
