charlie brown Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 When does the Memphis plant shut down production, or have they already? Will ES models be made in Nashville, until a new facility is found, or up and running? Will there be a "down time" in production, for all this?

Pat in the hat Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I just called the Memphis factory. They have sold the building and are leasing it back. They are still in full operation and are still giving tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat in the hat Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Did they own the building? Yes. If you have been following any of the media stories, they have large amount of debt coming due this year. This is way for them to raise cash to meet their maturing debt obligations. The building was way too big for them. It even contained a performance venue that they never used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
