Главный офис расположен в Кливленде, штат Огайо, США. Является дочерней фирмой компании (также известной как Scott & Fetzer), которая, в свою очередь, является частью корпорации Berkshire Hathaway. Kirby имеет дилерские представительства в более чем 70 странах мира. С 1920-х годов продукция Kirby продаётся только дистрибьютерами с демонстрацией на дому. Berkshire не раскрывает численность продаж Kirby, но Gene Windfeldt, руководитель компании в период с 1988 по 1997 гг., оценивал в 1999 году объём продаж вакуумных пылесосов примерно в 1,1 млрд. долларов в год. Практики, применяемые агентами по продажам Kirby часто критикуются, а цены на них кратно завышены. (ru) Kirby är en dammsugare som konstruerades av James B Kirby. Det är en universalmaskin som kom ut på marknaden 1914 (USA) och har funnits i Sverige sedan 1989. Den utför ett 60-tal arbetsmoment inom polering, mattvätt, golvboning, sanering och rekonditionering. Maskinen säljs genom en kombination av hemförsäljning och MLM och kostar i dagsläget från 35.000 till 45.000 kronor. Kirby är dotterbolag till och ligger i Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Dammsugaren säljs i stort sett i hela världen och marknadsförs endast genom demonstrationer i hem. Maskinen finns dock att få tag på begagnad till exempel på Blocket och E-Bay, men garantin på maskinen gäller endast den första köparen. Maskinen har tillverkats i flera olika modeller. Den senaste lanserades 2006 och heter Sentria. Maskinen tillverkas av duraluminium medan alla tillbehör tillverkas i polypropen-plast. De senaste modellerna använder "Micron Magic" HEPA-filter.
