BOTHELL, Washington USA — William E. Maness writes: "It is with deep regret that I'm announcing the termination of Rocket Vision operations. I sincerely appreciate the support that our customers and the rocketry community have shown over the past two years.
We're leaving the industry in accordance with one of the clauses of our mission statement: "If we cannot produce quality products at a profit in a market, we will withdraw from that marketplace." We've worked hard to stay true to our credo. According to the overwhelming majority of the feedback we've received, we've done a good job in the area of quality but we have not been able to become profitable.
Keep your eye out for further updates... We're negotiating with one of the most trusted names in the rocketry industry to keep alive the products you've come to trust and enjoy. I hope you'll give the new owners the same outstanding support you've given us over the years. We've done some good things, and will work hard to be sure your favorite products remain available.
Many of the Rocket Vision team plan to continue attending launches... We'll see you on the range.
Ad Astra, William E. Maness
PS. Operational details: All orders received by Rocket Vision will be filled before Dec 30, or a refund will be issued. We apologize for the confusion that our shutdown may cause. This message, e-mail and our telephone will remain operational through the end of the month. We intend to liquidate our non-rocket assets, many of which will appear on eBay. We believe we will be able to satisfy any of our open creditors from our liquidation proceeds. The wrap-up will be completed by Feb 1, 2001 |
