I once worked for Porter Cable on Marcellus and Geddes St that was purchased by Rockwell International. (I actually worked for Rockwell which used to be Porter Cable). Promises were made but they moved all manufacturing to Jackson, Tenn, which failed, closed and sold numerous times (currently Porter Cable tools are made by Black and Decker). The empty building in Syracuse was partially repurposed and is known now as RockWest.

We all know about UTC and Carrier.

Happy about the Hill-ROM Welch-Allyn acquisition in 2015 which has worked out very well so far. However I don’t know if you realize that Hill-Rom was purchased by Baxter International in 2021 but the deal won’t be finalized till sometime this year. Hopefully the new owners will be just as committed to the Skaneateles facility.

I apologize I might be too skeptical only because I’ve seen too many hurtful decisions made because of short-term 5 year goals for bonus reasons. If the company taking over Bristol Labs actually makes all those costly improvements, that is a great sign for it’s future.
