JASH USA purchases Rodney Hunt Company

We are excited to announce that as of September 21, 2016, JASH has purchased the Rodney Hunt Business unit. 

In 1897 a newspaper erroneously reported the Death of Mark Twain to which he quipped “The reports of my death have been exaggerated.”
 
At the time of this quote, over a century ago, the Rodney Hunt Co. was manufacturing gates in Orange, Massachusetts.
 
Fast forward 120 years to March 2016 and we began to hear rumors that Rodney Hunt has gone out of business. Just as history tends to repeat itself, this story too, has been exaggerated.  
Rodney Hunt Co. is still operating strong and maintaining it's presense as a fixture in Orange, MA for 175 years.  The company has been acquired, and we are excited to announce that as of September 21, 2016, Jash USA has purchased the Rodney Hunt Business unit.
