Garry2Rs Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I stopped at G.Loomis in Mount Hope on Wednesday to have a new guide installed on one of my rods. Lorne Greene, who ran the Canadian operation, was the only one there. He said they are now shut down, all the girls who built the rods are gone, and that all warranty work was now being handled through Shimano in Peterborough. Shimano bought Loomis about a dozen years ago, but they continued to operate as two separate companies. Garry2R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
