Grunau as I recall was a mfg. and a contractor. Star purchased the product line and Grunau remained a contractor. I think there were family ties with the two firms. They had a full line of products.
Star, Central and the Gem (Grinnell) line all now fall under what is now Tyco. Over the years the product lines became one product line. For some time each product was sold through different channels. Efficiencies of scale, evaporation of the licensees programs (ask an old timer) the merger of independent distribution into National chains changed the fire sprinkler industry into what we have today. Not in a bad way just a more open market. Sorry rambling!
