Bilstein is named after the founders August Bilstein and Hans Bilstein.
The company has been owned by ThyssenKrupp AG since 1999.
Also TEIN reminds me...
Is it true that LEXUS stands for Luxury EXport to the US?

Toyota entered the US market in 1989 at a Detroit and Los Angeles auto show.
January 1993 was the introduction of Lexus first Official US luxury performance sedan was the GS 300.
