To Welch Queenland LLC for 7.1 million. Another fine company headed across the open sea. At least we still can deliver pizzas.

Where did you find this? I don't live too far from their headquarters. If I knew they were for sale that cheap I may have got in on the bidding.

I have a GB65 box blade on order thru my dealer right now. Kind of have a feeling I should cancel it (if it's not too late) and look for one made in the good old US of A and a company that is owned here as well.

Wow!.

I did a search on the Wall Street Journal and Proquest and I could not find a thing about this sale. Can you reference your source. I have access to a college business server and did not find a thing about this sale or pending sale.

After some searching, I can't find any info on this. If true, I would have bought Woods for 7.1 million! Dern, all the bargains are taken!


But seriously, I doubt it was the woods equipment that makes attachments, loaders, backhoes, UTV's and more. They would sell for 7.1 Billion.

Agreed!

The Woods Equipment we know probably has $7.1 million just in raw steel on the floor of their factory.

Heck, for 7.1 million the TBN'ers could have formed a corporation and bought it, eveyone throw $1k at it, and we get all the attachments we would ever need.... Just think of all the Demo units we would create!

Woods recently ( within the last 2 years ) opened a huge mfg. plant in ( Kronenwetter Township ) Wausau, Wi. If you go to Wausau Daily Herald and click on lifestyles you will see a section called real estate transactions. Look half way down the list and you will see the sale as recorded in our countys financial transactions.
I e mail my friend and told him I thought the price was extremly low for this corporation. I don't know why they built a plant in northern Wisconsin when their headquarters is farther south. I know... they like to haul materials both ways. Didn't make any sense to me.
If the information is recorded in the financial page I have to believe it is sold,sold,sold !

I really hope I'm wrong and it is mis information.

 

[joes_427_vette]

The real estate transactions have been updated as of today. It could be they just sold the plant facility and retained the production capabilities. I searched the web and couldn't find mention of it either.
Like I said... I hope I'm wrong ( and the price is way too cheap )
Even if they sold the building alot of local jobs will go up in smoke. Why would an overseas company buy a manufacturing facility here. I would assume to get the manufacturing rights and sell the building on a secondary market. Knowing the newspaper, I should have had a secondary source.

I can't find them on either of the two lists...they're both from early Jan...

Cessna's first new design small aircraft will be built in China - shouldn't be too long before you're grounded.
