More details to this question:
There is a company that also makes heating elements and is advertising my company namy on their website claiming that they stock and sell our heating elements. I have contacted them previously, to let them know that they do not have our permission to do so. They have been doing this for several years and taken quite a bit of money from my family business. My question is- Do I have grounds for a lawsuit? Is there some sort of loophole that allows them to openly use my company name to profit?

The conduct which you are alleging constitutes any number of unfair trade practices, potential trademark violations and other business violations. You would have a claim for these violations under Nevada (and potentially Federal) law.
