Both companies explain they will support both chains and tethered tokens if there is a split and provide a tool for the splitting process.

Satoshi Labs Trezor Models Will Support Both Chains

The hard fork announcements keep piling up as block 494784 approaches with many cryptocurrency based businesses revealing their plans. On November 6 the two hardware wallet companies Satoshi Labs and Ledger explained how the firms would handle the upcoming fork. Satoshi Labs explains Segwit2x is a proposal to fork the network by increasing the block size to 2 MB. The company says the fork "is a contentious hard fork" that will likely result in a split. However Satoshi Labs explains Trezor wallets will support both chains calling the Segwit2x token "B2X," and wallet owners will receive a 1:1 distribution if a split occurs.
