Teraflex Business Sold……….

[RK Racing]

“”” Wheel Pro’s “”” buying up everything. I believe they bought the vast majority of the wheel manufacturers out there already. They bought numerous other small businesses also.

“”Polaris industries”” purchased “”four wheel parts””and Glamis Dunes store and surrounding acreage about 2 years ago……….. just did a little bit of homework and it looks like Polaris recently sold four wheel parts to clear Lake also as you stated……

is it all chinese made stuff?

They are monopolizing. They will own everyone in the industry in time. Then fall apart because they got too big.

Teraflex/Falxon is not made in China. I've taken a tour of their factory and offices in West Jordan, Utah.

Consolidation under private equity is rampant across the industry. M&A is alive and well.

IE: ECS bought out Turner and Pelican and damn near owns the Euro car parts world before the pandemic. They really screwed it up, too.

This is just a much bigger company that might actually know what they're doing unlike ECS did.

What I can't figure out is if they're buying them at fire sales or overinflated. Everyone that was at home that mail ordered had to caused an inflation of value. But dollar inflation is lowering buying power. Then again many companies big and small had a hard time in the pandemic. Weird but that's where my head goes.

It's all owned by an investment group - no real interest in anything but a return on their bucks. IF they don't make enough money, they'll be sold to another venture capital group with interest only in buying companies to fill a portfolio. The strategy is investing, not products.

Yes. Squeeze out every drop of blood then dump the carcus.

That sucks. Hopefully they don't over increase the prices like Steinjager did with Ace engineering. Poison spyder is no longer the same as well after transamrican took it over, im still waiting on those bombshell diff covers for the m210, and M220.

It will be now that wheels pro is taking it over.

The good and bad. They will work to consolidate services, Customer Service, R&D, Marketing, Etc. They will kill off redundant and unprofitable SKUs. Over time the quality will suffer. Don't be surprised when you see some of your favorite brands disappear.

The good thing is after the non competes run out (probably 2 years) you will see small start ups going back into business with a better product. I think the automotive culture prefers to buy from a manufacture that is owner ran and shows up at the trade shows and is willing to mingle with its customers. Just my thoughts

Wow, you make it sound like Wall Street is a bunch of vultures...

All will be sacrificed to the gods of ROI. I prefer owner/founder operated because there's often a sense of pride in one's products. A person with a name and a face wanting his name and face associated with quality (not always obviously). Conglomerates don't care about quality. They care about return because investors only care about return. If they want to produce quality items it's because they have done the math and determined quality is good for their bottom line. They can change their mind just as quickly.

It's not really a wallstreet problem, it's an everybody problem because Wall Street is a manifestation of our desires. Return, return, return. People don't dump stock in major corporations when they do heinous shit, they dump stock in major corporations when they get caught. People aren't buying TSLA because they like the way the company is run, they buy it because they think it will be worth more when they sell it.
