Yes Bob will take those two brands but PBMG will sell them for Bob, Bob is not moving far, he will be in the same building, just a different bay.

I can guarantee you there will be no changes on how people are treated.

there could be changes on the wolfgang and pinnacle lines though? the guy is taking over because he wants to make profit. how long before he wants to find a way to make the pinnacle and wolfgang products cheaper to produce? i hope it doesnt happen but id bet money there will definitely be some changes...

I hope for all the employees sake nothing changes but I've been through a buyout from a single person owner to a corporation and it never turns out good. Remember it's all about money and profit. good luck to the new venture though. I'll still buy as long as the customer service and prices remain.

I believe nothing will change on our (consumer) end of things. Thanks for letting us know Meghan!

Most buyouts start out with "nothings gona change" so as to not raise any sirens or create any panic. As the months go by change inevitably starts creeping in... Worked 16 years in Corporate and one of those companies a fortune 500, so know all too well from experience. Bet we gona see a whole lot of Sonax being pushed through giveaways and reviews now too.

In anycase, well wishes to all involved, the worlds changing.
