Viskase Holdings, Inc.
A maker of the artificial casings that give hot dogs, sausages, and deli meats their shape. Founded in 1925 in Chicago as The Visking Company, it created the first synthetic casing from purified cellulose—and after finding the wrapper could be peeled off after cooking, made the "skinless" hot dog possible. Its name blends "viscose" with "casing," and its researchers also developed Visqueen, an early polyethylene film used in homes and on farms.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over all recorded history: +3.81M shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
