Carbs were/are not their only product.  That is where they
started.  These days, they produce and sell a wide range of
aftermarket maintenance replacement and performance
automotive components and equipment.  They are also a major
OEM supplier to the manufacturers.  And, yes, they do make
fuel injection equipment.  The carburetor line alone would
have sup****ted only a relatively small maunfacturer for
several years now.  I suspect the ties to the OEM side is
greatly responsible for their current problems.
