Default Barry Grant closes their doors

Pulled this from another forum:

To Whom It May Concern:

Working with all of you has been the experience of a lifetime. I will value your support as friends, customers, vendors, and media contacts forever. The economic situation has put the company in the position of not being able to find working capital needed to continue operations and get a chapter 11-reorganization plan through the court. In addition to this , is that all of our equipment has been breaking down causing production delays and further hurting cash flow. Reluctantly now we must convert to chapter 7 liquidation after 26 years of business. The financial collapse has closed , or has caused severe restructuring of many companies in our industry. Many individuals have lost everything . We have even lost our home. This is the most humbling experience of my life, and I have no future plans at this point. Thank You for Your Many Years of Support .

As of today February 18th, 2011 twelve noon we have closed all operations at our main plant and all subsidiary location.

Sincerely,

Barry Grant

Thank You,
Scott Witmer
