Info wanted from Ohio guys
Just curious about something I looked up today. Just got done rebuilding and reinstalling my k301 on my 128. Been test driving around to work out the bugs with the kids in tow and noticed a little tag on my dash tin, saying "Findlay Industries". Looks like it was owned by them at one time.
Sorry to see however after googling them that this almost billion dollar American company looks to be out of business now, started by a man in 1959. Got me thinking real hard about my company that I work for, same stats, now worldwide, also family owned and based out of Ohio, hopefully never following suit. I hope I'm wrong on the info online but it looks like this place isn't around anymore.
Looking for info just based out of curiosity if anyone here knows of this place, they made automotive and heavy truck parts.
Getting really bummed anymore seeing these American companies invented by true pioneers and entrepreneurs becoming another statistic these days. No rant here, just hearing of too many ghost towns that used be booming with industry and sad about it.
