Blame the owners of Spectore.

We are very concerned that the opening comment of this post is based on “hearsay”. In an industry as small as ours, and with two prestigious companies with over fifty years of industry experience and reputations for performance and superior customer service, we would hope that the moderators of this forum would be more aggressive in finding out the facts. An unsubstantiated and casual remark such as this has the potential to damage long and hard earned reputations. Spectore has been operating (and still is) under the same ownership for over 25 years and has contributed a great deal to the industry. The facts are that Spectore Corporation did enter into a sales and distribution agreement with Wilkerson and Associates just prior to the JCK show in Las Vegas. This agreement was proudly announced in an advertisement appearing in the pre show issue of JCK magazine. It was the culmination of months of research to find a company with a sales force that could clearly, directly and concisely drive the initiatives and help enhance the brand image of Edward Mirell. Edward Mirell has established itself as the premier Nationally Advertised Contemporary Metals brand in the United States. In order for our authorized retailers to be able to get maximum benefit from the Edward Mirell brand we felt it was important for them to have access to a dedicated group of professional territory sales representatives. Wilkerson and Associates provides this important service with an extensive sales force of skilled and highly trained industry experts. We are thrilled to have them as part of our ongoing Edward Mirell Brand Initiative. Spectore will continue to be on the leading edge of product design and new material innovation that has set the standard for our Industry.

Not hearsay then--Wilkerson did buy you

These comments sure are providing some comedy relief. Can't wait to see the Chapter 11 filing next.

This could prove to be interesting. with the wilkerson purchase i'm curious to see how long before the spectore lines begin to liquidate and at what price.

Can't you people read? The statement says they are using Wilkerosn as independent reps and that there was no change in ownership.
