FAMARS went bankrupt on October 2012, what a pity.
Interesting - it seemed like it was last year that they went on a big branding push with clothing and accessories. I wonder if the investment that required contributed to their financial problems.
This is too cynical a thought to have at this hour of the morning, but FAMAR's fate hardly seems unusual when compared to most of the other high-end makers. Going back 120 years, which one hasn't experienced financial hardship or worse?
Bosis
Piotti
FAMARS
Perazzi
Beretta SOs
F'lli Rizzini
Fabbri
That seems like a lot of makers (just in Italy) looking to sell $30k+ OUs - how deep is that market, really?
