[Harp-L] KHS Music buy Hohner Outright

["Brendan Power" <bren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure if anyone posted this before, but KHS International of Taiwan,
(who have had a controlling interesting in Hohner since 1997), bought Hohner
outright earlier this year via their USA subsidiary:

 

"KHS America, Inc. has announced plans to acquire Hohner Inc. from Matth.
Hohner GmbH in Trossingen, Germany  .Transfer of ownership will take place
today, January 12, 2015."

 

Here's a link to the full story:

n-of-hohner-inc-usa.html

 

Strangely, this exciting news is not mentioned on either the KHS or Hohner
websites.

 

Soooo.. Finally the dream has come true: Americans have a (sort-of)
USA-owned harmonica brand to be proud of! 

 

Isn't globalisation a wonderful thing?
