The Kent, WA plant is being moved, as of today, as a matter of fact. However, I do know that the sales force will remain in Washington State, for the time being at least. As for a specific location, I do not have that information as of yet.

Thanks Danny, just wanted to know as I live just north of the border of the Kent, Wa shop. Whenever I do order some wheels from you.
I'm really interested to see the new designs and especially to see the old designs in 19" size.

Met with the new owners today and it will be a while before I even know if I will be part of the company again. They have a lot of footwork to do prior to putting a "heavy hitting" sales/tech team together
However, when you do decide you want some prices, let me know and I'll be happy to relay the info to the proper people, if I'm not part of the company at that time.

I received a call from Will Anthis around lunch time today concerning my previous order with Fikse. He was calling to update me on what happened and to see where I stood on wheels. Unfortunately, for him, I had already reordered Forgeline wheels through Frank, but I was glad to see his professionalism in calling to let me know what was up. I won't elaborate on what he told me about Fikse's shut down last year. Let's just be glad that they're back with new owners and providing their products to our small community once again.
Thanks for the call, Will!

I had a long pow wow with Will today and feel real good about the future. very impressive, first words out of his mouth after hello was wanting to make usre all my Fikse customers were taken care of.
Also, i asked if jim Fikse was ANY part of the company and got a loud HELL NO! Which is good to hear. This is a pure buy out from the bank

It sounded to me like Jim Fikse raked those employees over the coals during that process.
