Author Topic: Component Engineering Has Been Sold.... Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2003 09:36 PM                     According to reliable sources in the industry the sale of C.E. has definately been confirmed. This supposedly occured about a month ago and Bill Purdy is no longer at the helm. No one seems to know who the new owners are....hopefully they are film oriented....unlike the CFS deal that occured a number of years back and then CFS Poo-pooed to bankruptcy. Hey Don Olsen, or Brian, are you out there, and can you fill us in on this........? At any rate I wish the best of luck to the new owners there.

I certainly hope that it has been passed on to good hands. They do make a good product.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.
