Long Enterprises closing down the business?

[folkevogn]

Tried to get a price on some gears for my gearbox and first I got the answer that they're not accepting foreign orders at this time. I replied and said that i might be able to get someone in the US to order it for me. The answer got was Sorry, we are closing the business and retiring as of Dec. 11th.

Sad to hear their closing the business, potentially not good for the market prices when there is less competition.

Sorry, I don't know. If their closing down do to lack of incoming orders I would guess the outdated website might be part of the reason. The people of to day want information immediately and therefor I think the part list without prices will probably have some of the potential customers look elsewhere. But what do I know, they been doing this for decades so maybe their getting old and haven't found anyone suitable to carry on the business?
