One of the top three reasons? Says who? Even if it's true, it still makes no sense.
I'm sure there's obviously a valid reason but to the layman, it's silly to think that having too many customers is a problem to which the answer is shut down.
I've seen a similar case in the R/C helicopter industry. Well known brand, high-quality, extreme-performance (read: expensive) products, made in the USA, the works. It wasn't so much they couldn't keep up with demand as it was they really didn't have the desire to. They were comfortable with the pace they set and dealers being out of stock for months, even years, haters on the forums, etc. never phased them. Eventually, their manufacturing processes improved, prices came down, supply went up, and now they're about to release a new product line. Some people still hate them, I'm sure, but the true fans know what's up.
But that's just one example and every business is different, certainly.
I didn't even hear Pedders closed too. I haven't upgraded my suspension yet at all and Pfadt and Pedders were the only two names I recognized as well known popular brands. Now what will I do if I win the lottery?
Anyway, best of luck to Pfadt (and Pedders) in the future. Having the fan base as you both do, I'm sure you'll land on your feet.
How about a Pfadt/Pedders co-venture? Eh?
