Mustad to be Bought
Apparently Mustad is about to be bought by an investment firm. http://www.wired2fish.com/Mustad-Hoo...ny-WhatsUp6091
I have been a fan of Mustad hooks for several years. I am a little (OK a lot) concerned to see them up for sale. Was I the last person in the world to realize this?
Sounds like good news to me. With the infusion of cash hopefully we will see more, not less of Mustad hooks. At some point I hope Dr. Fish can chime in to tell us more, but it may be a while since the deal is not final.

From my personal experience, when an investment group buys a company, it is bad news for quality, the employees, and the future of the company.

I would agree with you when it comes to American investment companies, but I have found it to be the opposite with European investment companies. I'll hope for the best.

I'm glad I stocked up. I love their hooks. Now I'm thinking I may need more...
Our company used to be owned by a privately held investment company and it was great for us. It was after we were sold to a publicly held company in our own industry that we went to Hades in a handbag. It's never been the same. Time will tell what this means for them.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
