RE: Why xenaphobic?

Depends on the nature of the Danish company they sold to. If that other company specialized in, let's say washing machines, I would probably have a negative comment to say. If they had consolidated with Dali I don't think I would care much.

BTW, in Europe there are many old Breweries that have carried on with traditional recipes for centuries...so continuity when the original owner retires or dies IS possible.

Cashing out isn't always bad but in this case it means probably wholesale change in the business he founded...like the sale of Thiel once Jim Thiel died. The new products don't even remotely resemble the products that the company built it's reputation on.

"What is this idiocy you imply about the founder of a company having some obligation about future products?"

Not idiocy at all but companies that care about their reputation more than profits.

Not arrogance, experience with Chinese products. Sure they are improving and will one day reach the same level of craftsmanship...but they aren't there yet.
