Kevin asked me to post this up.
That 380 was EMAB's attempt at a "world saw". It was likely made to replace the re-branded Frontier saw(s) which was an old, under powered design. It was produced in Skil, Pioneer, Pioneer -Partner, Jonsered, and Husky models as well as a bunch I'm missing.
I had a Husky version I sold. It ran well but was as slow as heck.

The replacement was likely the 380 which was made in the EMAB plant in Huron Park, Ontario.
Other versions made of the Jred 380 are the Jred 370, also the Pioneer - Partner 360 and Husky 33 and 38 and possibly others.
I'ts a plastic clam shell consumer grade saw. Made in two displacements 34 and 38 cc
Here's a pic of the Pioneer - Partner version from Acre's site.
I don't think they ever caught on. I don't think I've ever laid my hands on one so I have no idea how well they run.
A number of different saws were built in the Huron Park plant which no longer exists. The most notable were the Poulan Pro Pioneers, 405, 455, 525, and 655. Thy also made the Pioneer - Partner versions of those saws there. The one you see in my avatar (P52) was made in the Pioneer plant in Peterborough, Ontario plant before ELUX closed it. It's interesting that the manufacture date and the serial number were scribed into the paint on the bottom of the saw. There are several more out there like that.
That's about all I know about the EMAB plant and a little research I did this morning on the Jonsered 380.
