What's happening with Wadkin UK?

[Jean Pasnin]

Hello,
I've been trying to browse Wadkin's website (http://www.wadkin.com) regarding this isssue (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=129814) I have with my AGS/P saw, but their site has been disabled.
I have sent emails to support too, but have not received any reply yet.
Are they not operating anymore?

cheers
J.

Wadkin in the UK was closed or sold off about 6-8 years ago. There is a US company that owns the name here, I'm not sure about the UK brand name. The moulders are now sold under the Kentwood name. There are several UK people in the US that were with Wadkin US operations. I know of a couple in NC that are pretty well up on all Wadkin machines, John Dicks and Alan Shale. I've not been in contact with either for a couple of years. I'll see if I can find John Dicks(John has co. called "South State Machinery", I think) number if you're interested.
