I am led to believe that Hardy USA is moving away from association with Cortland Line Co. , Cortland, NY, to Lancaster, PA. What are the specific plans for
Lancaster, PA ? If you have any information please share it with members of the Board. Thank you.

Here's an announcement that was made a while ago.
Jim Murphy, who founded both Redington and Albright Tackle, has been hired as president of Hardy & Greys' new wholly owned subsidiary, Hardy North
America, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. According to an article by Tim Mekeel in Lancaster Online, Hardy's presence in Pennsylvania means an end
to its distribution relationship with Cortland. "Hardy &
Greys is investing more than $1 million to open the 14,000-square-foot facility. It will start with eight to 12 employees, with 'significant
potential for growth' as the business expands, he said."

I had heard that Cortland had grown tired of the Hardy act with their huge price increases and the fact that few or none of their reels are made in the United
Kingdom. As much as I love Hardy it seems like it is the end of a classic era in reel making. Their Timothy Leary style of reels that they are producing now
and downsizing their classic reels is a sad ending to a classic tackle manufacturer
