The info I read says they are RS-68A engines made by Aerojet Rocketdyne, which was a a merger with Pratt and Whitney which is part of United Technologies, which was sold to GENCORP, which....... all very confusing.

Atlas V uses the Russian engine. This is the other EELV rocket, the Delta IV. It uses the American RS-68A engine.

If I am not mistaken, now there is only two U.S. rocket motor manufacturers, ATK and Aerojet.
