It looks like the two head employees have stayed on to run things but the rest of the employees who must have been there a long time retired.
Hopefully things stay running well and they maintain their success.
They're one of my favorite American tool manufacturers, I'm a huge believer in their products and would hate to see them go.

Hopefully not much changes.
