McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm

Well I doubt very much if this means higher quality caps, trannies and other essentials.

Probably send it lock stock and barrel to Shanghai.

I don’t understand the negativity, McIntosh needs capital to expand. Quickest way to do that is to go to PE firm. If McIntosh can support its growth organically, it would have…but clearly it could not. So PE funding is a good alternative.

http://Highlander Partners announces acquisition McIntosh

ACQUISITION means buy/bought

I wouldn’t think the Highlander Group will bankrupt McIntosh, but if it did it gives a wealthy McFan the opportunity to buy the name.

I see them selling the Texas property (if it is owned) or developing it and then selling it. Lay off all but essential staff with the excuse of preparing for the coming recession.

Take advantage of Biden’s soft stance on China and China’s investment and tax incentives.

With the high Dollar this is a perfect storm. It helps low offshore manufacturing and reselling at higher prices due to "inflation" and higher interest rates.

And if all that doesn’t work out there’s 1.6 billion Chinese consumers to fall back on who’d love to have a real American product at Chinese prices.

China has many tariff zero export agreements with many countries.

BTW Ducati’s makeover involved moving production to Thailand.

@jerryg123 I never said Thailand saved Ducati, HD had a disastrous affair manufacturing in India which was in essence pulled back by Trump.

Triumph is exclusively manufactured in Thailand and has been for a long time.

Pirelli is 100% Chinese owned. Along with hundreds of US and European companies.

I am not pro Chinese, far from it, but if you keep voting for Biden the clown it's just going to get worse until China is your overlord.

@osodelnorte I see you've gone full McTard.
