Until 2004, Roddenberry Entertainment was the main holding through which CEO Roddenberry, Jr. plied his trade. Due to the proliferation of productions, however, he decided to establish an overall, umbrella company Roddenberry Productions under which all Roddenberry-related companies were placed. These included the two oldest ones that his father had originally established, and which are still in existence: Norway Corporation and Lincoln Enterprises. Now subordinated under the new holding, which came into being on 23 June 2004, [6] Roddenberry Entertainment currently focuses on the (co-)production and distribution of the newest Trek-related shows.

The official web site Roddenberry.com currently serves as a catch-all of all Roddenberry's holdings, with his father's lifelong accountant and close family friend, Mort Kessler, having served for the family holdings in a similar function until his retirement.
